What are mites

There are two types of mites (Demodex) that parasitize the human body: folliculorum mites and lipid mites. The mites are slender and worm-like, with a body length of 0.1~0.2mm. There are palates and dots on the front of the body, and the whole limbs are short needle-shaped. More research data show that the infection rate of Demodex mites in the human body in my country is relatively high, reportedly reaching as high as over 98%. Because the human body has no immunity to infection by mites, people of different ages, nationalities, and genders can be infected.

Skin problems caused by mites

1. Dandruff and itching

Mites absorb nutrients from skin cells, destroy cells, stimulate skin sensory nerves, and cause itching; at the same time, skin cells age and become damaged faster, resulting in an increase in dandruff.

2. Pigmentation

Mites constantly cause damage in the human body, causing the skin to lose nutrition, become withered and atrophied, and then form pigmentation. If this continues for a long time, symptoms such as small red bumps and acne will appear.

3. Oily face and bacterial growth

Mites destroy the internal environment of hair follicles and sebaceous glands, causing blockage of hair follicles and increased sebum secretion, resulting in excessive oil content in the skin and bacterial growth.

4. Rough skin

Mites breed and continuously devour nutrients in the tissues and reproduce. As they live in the pores, their number increases, causing the pores to become larger, which can easily lead to water loss in the skin, resulting in rough skin.

5. Blackheads, acne

When a large number of hair follicle mites accumulate in a pore, it can cause folliculitis or acne. In severe cases, large patches of nodular acne or purulent acne can form. In addition, the excrement of demodectic mites can also cause pores to become clogged, forming "blackhead" acne.
