Costia - a fairly basic question, if I may...

[Paul24]

I carried out a PP treatment for Costia yesterday. Would you automatically follow this up with a second treatment, after the appropriate number of days, as recommended for a MG&F costia treatment?

I believe one pass is usually sufficient to clear the majority, with a second recommended for any stragglers. I would appreciate anyone's thoughts/experience.

Many Thanks

Hi Paul,

What was your reason for going with PP instead of MG&F

Sorry but i am a nosy bugger

Hello Dunc,

Its really nice to see you posting and that to see your progressing with your RO work, on that thread.

Thanks for the reply regarding the costia. The dermo is massively improved, but 100% gone? I'm not sure. I have a couple of 'sets' of progress pictures to update that thread with and I'll sort that out on Saturday.

Gazza - the reason I used PP, despite it being 2nd choice on the treatment chart I follow (you may be familiar with it ) is that I am more familiar with using it and have it to hand. I don't have any decent stuff for MG&F treatment - perhaps I should order some and use this for a follow up treatment - what d'ya reckon?

Cheers
Paul T.

Hi FMG for me too I have found PP to be less than effective on Costia
