What are the most common signs of demodex?
The symptoms of demodex vary between people. We give only the most common symptoms. 1. Whelks, youthful acnes, rash, pink acnes, pustules, sores, etc. on the face are often manifestation of infestation by the demodex mite. After a long-term infestation you will observe whelks on your back, chest and even hips. 2. Red elevated spots on your face. 3. Increased oil production on the skin and expanded pores. The affected areas are wet, and shiny. The skin on a nose and cheeks are the most commonly affected. 4. One’s face has pale or gray tone. 5. Lumpy facial skin. The lower layers of skin have a coarse look due to small-sized solid blobs of calcium that result in an unhealthy complexion. 6. Limited range of facial movements. 7. Enlargement of the nose. Sometimes so much so that the nose starts to resemble a huge blue-red plum (rhinophyma). 8. An itchy, tickling sensation of skin crawling. Sometimes you wont even notice the itch, and just scratch automatically. The itch is greater at night
