Given the success of anti-malarials (in particular hydroxychloroquine and mepacrine) for some people with rosacea, and the growth of treatments and investment in malaria treatments I think it's very valuable to investigate the range of treatments coming on stream and already available for malaria for rosacea patients.

Many of these treatments are anti-parasitics for malaria, and I wonder whether these anti-parastics kill demodex mites, although I'm not sure if this has been tested in many studies so far.
