Presentation
Demodex mites were present in the infundibulum of several hairs. [wildpro.twycrosszoo.org]
We highlight the presentation, treatment, and underscore demodicosis as an important, under recognized cause of blepharitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Skin
- Dermatitis
Demodicosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of recurrent or recalcitrant rosacea-like, granulomatous rosacea-like, and perioral dermatitis-like eruptions of the face. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although, there is no clinical symptoms in individuals with normal immunity system, but in many cases, dermatitis, rough, dry and scaly skin rosacea, particularly asymmetrical papulopustular or granulomatous variants and in some cases, perioral dermatitis [journals.sbmu.ac.ir]
Patients with demodicosis may have eye irritation, itching and scaling of eyelids (blepharitis or eyelid dermatitis). There may be lid thickening, loss of lashes (madarosis), conjunctival inflammation and decreased vision. [dermnetnz.org]
- Eruptions
The frequency of rosacea-like eruptions in HIV-negative children is very low. However, the incidence of these eruptions in HIV-positive children may have been underestimated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We here describe a boy with T-cell non–Hodgkin lymphoma who developed a facial papulopustular eruption just before finalizing T-cell non–Hodgkin lymphoma treatment. He was treated for several infectious diseases without improvement. [journals.lww.com]
- Eczema
Macules, papules, eczema, folliculitis and pigmentation have also been described. Patients with demodicosis may have eye irritation, itching and scaling of eyelids (blepharitis or eyelid dermatitis). [dermnetnz.org]
Received no diagnosis and only prescriptions for an antibiotic ointment and eczema ointment. Of course, those medicines did nothing for this. [amazon.com]
Scales, perhaps resembling eczema. Sensitive skin. White sheen on your skin or eyelashes. If the condition affects your eyes, you may experience: Decreased vision. Eye irritation and itchiness. Loss of lashes. Thickened or scaly eyelids. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
- Dry Skin
The dry skin cycle described by Ayres is initiated when the demodectic mite plugs the follicle and reduces the sebaceous outflow, which leads to scaling as well as rough and dry skin texture. [2] Sebaceous outflow is further reduced when patients inadvertently [emedicine.medscape.com]

Psychiatrical
- Fear
Evidence of phobia should, provisionally, be labelled with the nonperjorative term symbiophobia (herein coined for "fear of association with organisms"), and the causative organisms, if present, treated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
- Irritability
After 1 week of TTO treatment, all patients showed dramatic resolution of ocular irritation and inflammation while Demodex counts dropped. All corneal signs resolved within 2 weeks except for a residual anterior stromal scar in 1 eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It can cause irritation and burning sensation. How is demodex diagnosed? Dermoscopy typically shows spiky white structures occluding follicular openings. [dermnetnz.org]
Calificado en Estados Unidos el 25 de abril de 2017 Smell is rather off putting but the product works well I've been having less skin irritation and was wondering what the cause might be and I'm not sure but it may have been skin mites. [amazon.com]
Eye irritation and itchiness. Loss of lashes. Thickened or scaly eyelids. Are Demodex mites contagious? Demodex mites can spread from human to human. Babies aren’t born with mites, but they get mites from the people they live with. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
Treatment
Eyelid scrubs or massage with TTO could be an effective treatment regimen in these cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis of symptomatic relief from D folliculorum is very good. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Etiology
The usual etiological agent of primary demodicosis is D. folliculorum, which causes an erythemato-squamous eruption in the facial T-zone. The rash starts on unaltered skin and covers 8 - 15 % of the face. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
All causes leading to immunocompromisation are generally due to etiological factors [ 15 ]. For immunocompetent patients, oral sex (fellatio) may be the primary cause [ 16 ]. [doi.org]
Epidemiology
METHODS: We conducted a prospective epidemiologic study among 10 dermatologists. High Demodex density (Dd) was confirmed by standardized skin surface biopsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prevention
Hence, demodicosis may be seriously considered in antibiotic-resistant facial papulopustular eruptions in this group of patients to prevent delay of adequate treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ether and alcohol should be used with caution, and corneal contact should be prevented. A combination of this in-office treatment with a home regimen is suggested. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention How can I reduce my risk of demodicosis? You can’t wash or scrub all Demodex mites away. But you may be able to help prevent infestation by keeping your skin clean. This removes the extra oil and dead skin cells the mites eat. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
