Mange mitesQ: How do i get rid of mange mites, is ivomec still the best treatment? A: The treatment of demodectic mange is usually accomplished with lotions, dips, and shampoos. fortunately, 90% of demodectic mange cases are localized, in which only a few small areas are involved and can often be treated topically. recently, a 5% benzoyl peroxide gel applied daily. bathing periodically with a benzoyl peroxide shampoo and feeding a high quality diet and a multivitamin with a fatty acid may also help some dogs. most of these localized lesions will heal on their own and do not require overly aggressive treatment.||
