On a note!
Subcutaneous mite is present on the skin of each person, but does not cause discomfort, it is completely invisible. Acne does not always appear. And only under certain circumstances, it begins to multiply actively, what causes a difficult to treat disease - demodicosis.
Infection
Infection occurs directly from a sick person. This can happen while touching your face, hugging, kissing, and also through infected objects - a towel, napkins.
Demadecosis mite does not have the ability to fully settle on the skin, if there are no appropriate conditions. The pest feeds on particles of sebum, therefore the environment favorable for it is an excessive amount of fat. The main causes of the appearance of parasites are improper functioning of the sebaceous glands, weak immunity.
Contributing factors are many:
- chronic inflammatory processes in the digestive organs;
- endocrine system diseases;
- hormonal disbalance;
- receiving immunomodulators, immunostimulants with subsequent impairment of the functioning of the immune system;
- transferred viral, bacterial diseases;
- teenage years;
- depletion of the nervous system, frequent stress, adverse psycho-emotional environment at home, at work;
- bad habits - alcohol, smoking;
- improper nutrition - frequent use of fatty, spicy, salty, sweet foods;
- violation of facial hygiene;
- substandard cosmetics;
- bad ecology.
On a note!
The skin mite on the face is self-destructing, if it has nothing to eat, that is, face hygiene is observed, there is no excess fat on the skin, the protective mechanisms work smoothly. Otherwise, the subcutaneous mite on a person’s face will actively multiply, and may spread to other parts of the body.
Symptoms of the disease
The initial stage of infection with demodicosis is almost asymptomatic. However, attentive people may find red, inflamed spots in the area of the nasolabial folds.Outwardly, they resemble allergies or ordinary pimple. In such inflamed foci, the female laid eggs, of which after a few days the first instar larvae appear.
Symptoms of a hypodermic tick on the face:
- redness;
- increased secretion of fat, greasy shine;
- acne;
- inflammation;
- reddened face;
- the skin becomes loose, knobby;
- itching, worse by evening, present at night;
- stuck eyelashes, at the base of the scales;
- feeling that someone is crawling under the skin, something is moving.
Acne on the face from a tick can be red, pink, even bluish. At the initial stage of infection, symptoms may resemble a normal allergic reaction. For this reason, experts often prescribe the wrong treatment, or the victims themselves prescribe the wrong drugs. It is possible to recognize a living being under the skin by the sensation of movement, but this method does not always work. Strange sensations may appear on the nerves of the soil.
Features of therapy
Treatment of subcutaneous mite on the face begins with a diagnosis.

Similar symptoms provoke a pink tick, and the disease is called rosacea. The treatment is almost the same with demodicosis, but there are some differences.

Demodecosis is not treated, but is healed. After antibiotics, relief does not come for long. Just a couple of weeks - again, rash, long-term treatment. Sulfur cream helps for a maximum of 10 days. Helped me cope with Roaccutane disease. She took capsules. Not cured completely, but there is no relapse for 3 months, which is very pleasing.

Veronika, Voronezh
A subcutaneous tick on the face causes not only physical discomfort, but also social. Unpleasant rash makes a person insecure, and others are forced to keep from the victim, as far as possible. It is impossible to let everything take its course, it is only necessary to carry out the treatment of demodicosis.
