My main problem is the very deep redness all over my face. My skin is smooth, no problem with pimples, spots etc. I have had this problem now for approx 20 years. I thought the redness which appeared very gradually over the years was, in fact, a healthy look, like someone who spends a lot of time outside, like a farmer. How misguided can you be?

A few nights ago, whilst researching this condition online I learned about the demodex mite. That same night I felt these mites crawling over my face. I don't know if it is psychological after reading of other people's experiences or if these mites really are there.

Ted seems to suggest borax and peroxide. The problem is you can't buy it in the shops in England. I've seen it online but am very wary as I don't know what additives may have been used. Can anyone in UK please let me know where they obtained it from and if they had any success with it, please?

Any other suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks
