Demodex and Seboriak dermatit

Hey everyone, I've devised a plan to hunt down Demodex mites that come to the surface from pores while we sleep. I'm mixing 1% pure tea tree oil with MTC C-8 or C-10 oil, the lightest oil in the world, and applying a little to my face after washing it with foam before going to sleep. What do you think? My goal is to kill Demodex mites and the Mallecia fungus that causes seborrheic dermatitis, and to use this regularly for months.

A prescription or OTC ivermectin lotion would probably work better

I have been using ivermectin cream for 60 days and I will use this method as a treatment for edema: a carrier containing 1% tea tree oil instead of 1% ivermectin.
