Treatment of demodicosis with kerosene

Treatment of demodicosis with kerosene is a very strange, but effective method. The skin damaged by demodex must be treated with kerosene and not washed off for three days. Thanks to this procedure, an impermeable film is formed and the mites living in the skin will come out, as they will experience a lack of oxygen.

This remedy should not be used if abscesses have already formed, since kerosene can cause additional irritation. Before using it, you should first conduct an allergy test. Simply apply the remedy to the skin and wait 15-30 minutes. If no unpleasant sensations arise, then it is quite possible to use the "drug".

If you experience any unpleasant sensations, you should stop using this method. Otherwise, negative side effects may develop. Eliminating the problem in this case may lead to serious "damage" to the skin.
