Where do the inflammations, caused by Demodex mites, occur?
The major localizations of mites – the so-called a delta circuit of demodex are: the wings of the nose, the skin between the nose and upper lip (the nasolabial fold), and chin. Also the mite is known to inhabit eyelashe pores, the outer part of the ear (the auricles), other areas covered in hair, and the neck. Eventually, the demodex mite may come to cover skin on the chest, and in extreme, rare cases the back (0.5-0.7% of cases studied).
