Our girl Chewy just got diagnosed with Demodectic Mange last Mon. She had a nasty looking rash on her chin and around her bottom lip for a couple days that just got redder and nastier looking. Vet said she had a staff infection and her immune sys was down, so he put her on antibiotics, a special diet and some pre/probiotic tabs till we take her back on Tues and hopefully start treatment on the mange itself. Rash has spread to around her eyes and a couple spots on her face. She itches and bites herself everywhere. I've been researching and the drugs and/or dip the vets usually prescribe are seriously dangerous and scary, especially for her breed. Yesterday I ordered from Amazon some Dermabenss soapless shampoo, Durvet Nu-Stock ointment and Puralube ointment(for her eyes). I will at least try this remedy first before submitting her to the torturess meds the vet wants to try. Anyone have any experience with 'Red Mange'? What did you do?
Here's a few pics from earlier this month - before the mange#

My wife has a dog grooming shop, and she washes the dog's faces with a medicated shampoo, sometimes once or twice a week. It takes a couple of weeks, but it seems to work. Really important to rinse it out comepletely.
