Demodex Mites: What You Need to Know About Them

#demodex #eyelashes #doctoreyehealth

Demodex mites are tiny, eight-legged mites that live on the skin. They are commonly found on the face, specifically around the eyelashes. Demodex mites are usually harmless, but in some cases, an overgrowth of these mites can lead to irritation and inflammation of the eyelashes and surrounding skin. This condition is called demodex blepharitis. It can cause symptoms such as redness, itching, and eyelash loss. Serious cases of demodex infections are commonly seen in people with weakened immune systems, as well as those who have certain skin conditions, such as rosacea.
