The most common diagnosis that patients hear in the beautician's office in 2014 is Demodex. We analyzed what feelings such a diagnosis can cause and what questions patients most often ask.
1. Where did I get this tick?
Most often, people put the question in this way, meaning by this that they need to find out who exactly infected them. The accusations, as a rule, are addressed to cosmetologists and makeup artists who use brushes and sponges. It seems that this is where the source of ticks lies.
2. How do Demodex mites reproduce and where exactly do they live in my skin?
Seeing in the laboratory where they took the tests, or on the Internet how the males and females of demodex mites look in an enlarged form, most people experience hostility and disgust. After reading the information that they reproduce sexually, the psychological state worsens even more.
3. How do I know if I have demodex or not?
There are two categories of patients: suspicious, who diagnose themselves and begin treatment; incredulous, who do not want to listen to anything and are afraid to go and get tested. A huge amount of frightening information simply does not allow patients to calmly go to the doctor, take a scraping and receive adequate treatment.
4. Can you get demodex from pets?
Many varieties of Demodex mites do live on the skin of pets, but they cannot live on human skin. Only Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis are demodex mites that live on our skin and are not always dangerous. Therefore, do not blame the pets for everything.
5. Do I need to treat demodex or does this disease go away on its own?
Treatment of demodex should be carried out, as this therapy will help improve the condition of the skin, especially with acne, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis.
