  1. WAXING!

    I've had an explosion on my nose, eyebrows, ears and head since 2010. The only thing over the years that helped even a little was when I had to take antibiotics for an infected tooth: Clindamycin. However, after taking the antibiotic, they usually came back 2 weeks later. WELL...my daughter got a waxing kit a few months back & at the time my nose was horribly broke out. We thought why not try waxing them? (literally the ONLY thing I haven't tried over 14 years) WELL..it worked! She waxed my entire nose twice which did cause some bleeding...but, they have yet to come back and it's been 2 months. (SUCCESS!) I can even feel they are gone. Granted I had zero hair on my nose, so the waxing was a breeze. We are planning on shaving the spot on my head next where they are and try waxing there as well and my ears. I can't imagine the ears hurting at all while waxing! (no hair on the ears). I'll try to remember to update here. If it works, I will finally be pain & patchy skin free after 14 long years of doctors, specialists, medicines, etc. If the wax matters: it's a beeswax made especially for a hotmelt waxing machine.

      So you mentioned that you would shave the area in your head where they are. I'm confused. So, does yours stay within a specific section? My main problem is that I feel them on my face. I'm assuming the babies. Then, every so often, not as much. I think I feel an adult one because I feel it going through my hair. I, too, have them in my nose and ears. Peroxide, my friend, they don't like peroxide. It won't remove them for good, but something helps.
