As you may have read in my previous posts, I used Quellada Lotion and Lyclear Cream but these are just two of the many Permethrin 5% preparations you can purchase over the counter and use off-label in your quest to eliminate the demodex mite.
Because these two products aren't available worldwide, I thought I'd dedicate this post to brands available outside of Australia.
Manufacturer Brand
GlaxoSmithKline Kwellada-P
Actavis Permethrin Cream
Perrigo Permethrin Cream
Galderma Permite
Sandoz Permethrin
Galenium Scabimite
Neoderm Lindell Lotion
Steifel Nedax-5
SkinVenture Casthrin Lotion
Prestium Pharma Elimite Cream
Renaissance Pharma Permethrin Cream
GlaxoWellcome Nix Dermal Cream
Amideep Pharmaceuticals Permarin
Tomar Medicines Skabi-Rid
Glenmark Glenper Cream
PSM Lyderm Cream
...and many more.
If none of the above are available in your particular country, internet search "permethrin 5% scabies" and your search engine will bring up a brand available to you locally.
Read the ingredients on the box or bottle to confirm that it contains 5% Permethrin. The other ingredients will consist of the carrier and preservative.
Best wishes

One year on and still amazing results.
It's been a year since my last photographs and I thought it would be great to update you on my skin.
I have been less regimented with the scabies lotion (Quellada) over the last year - only using it for a couple of nights in a row when I get a breakout on my chin or in the nasal folds.
I haven't had any more laser treatment since I finished the course in early 2016.
My routine these days is very simple. I keep my skin clean with a gentle cleanser (Cetaphil) and because I'm now 50 years old, I've been using a basic hyaluronic acid to keep the wrinkles at bay topped with Cetaphil lotion (to trap the hyaluronic acid in).
I always wear a hat when I got outside and I am mostly pretty good at remembering to apply sunscreen.
This probably really is my last post regarding my battle with rosacea. ...maybe...
All the very best
Kate
