Why are more and more people diagnosed with demodex every year?
Every year we see an increase in the number of patients with demodex. According to the World Health Organization, the number of patients with demodex is growing annually: in 1999 and 2000 demodex was found in 30-33% people inspected, in 2001 and 2002 40-41% of patients inspected were found to have demodex. There are many possible reasons for this increase, including: 1. Changes in the biocenosis of the skin, creating favorable conditions for the parasitic Demodex mite. 2. Newly diagnosed cases of demodex are added to the many cases of people who are not properly treated for demodex.
