Does demodex mite cause rosacea complaints?

  1. The exact cause of rosacea is not yet known. As well as a medicine for the chronic skin condition. For a long time it was thought that the demodex mite could cause rosacea complaints.

  1. The link between rosacea and the demodex mite has even been established in 1925!

  2. The link between rosacea and the demodex mite has even been demonstrated in 1925!

  1. In this article you will learn everything about the demodex mite and why it may cause rosacea.

Demodex mite â € “fact or fiction

  1. New research shows that people with rosacea have excessive demodex mites on the skin. The study examined how many hair follicle mites are present on skin with rosacea. The research shows that people with rosacea have as many as 10 times as many mites on the skin than people without skin complaints.

  1. According to the study done by the Clinic of Dermatology, people with rosacea have 12.8 mites per square centimeter of skin. And with â € ˜â € ™ normal skinâ € ™ â € ™ this number is only 0.7. This should cause complaints anyway

  1. The demodex mite is most of the time hidden in the hair follicle. The organs responsible for hair growth. In addition, there are very many mites in the eyelids, nose, cheeks, forehead and chin.

  1. Nothing strange, since those are exactly the places where rosacea occurs. Even in the eyelids people can suffer from rosacea, which in turn must be treated separately by a specialist.

  1. The mite is so fond of the face because the skin there is very oily due to the oils produced by the sebaceous glands. The demodex mite does not like very dry skin and has a great aversion to it. This also explains that rosacea is often worse in the summer, because the skin then produces more oils to protect itself. This also increases the proportion of demodex mites.

  1. But what exactly do they do on the skin?

  1. The hair follicle mites hate light and become active when it is completely dark. They also do not release waste because they have no secretory organs. They feed on the skin through oils and substances and then store them. These are released when they die. These waste products seem to cause the rosacea symptoms.

  1. When a mite dies, extra waste products are released into the pores and this can stimulate an immune system response. Normally the mites have an important function for the skin, but with extreme amounts such as with rosacea, inflammation can be caused on the skin. This also seems to explain the itching associated with rosacea and the sudden outbreaks.

  1. Personally, I think the demodex mites largely cause rosacea. If there is 10 times as much mite on the skin, causing 10 times as much waste products to be released, then almost skin complaints must be caused.

  1. But there are currently not many treatments available to stop the excessive amount of mites on the skin.

  1. I decided to research possible solutions and will now share my results with you:

  1. First of all, some research has been done on tea tree oil to tackle the demodex mite. But there is too little scientific support for this. This is often the case with research into natural remedies. It is difficult to obtain a definitive answer, even though it has helped many people.

  1. Another agent is metronidazole. This is often prescribed by the dermatologist. It seems that the agent works so well because it may reduce the amount of bacteria in the demodex mite waste.

  1. The theory that demodex mites cause skin complaints, including acne and rosacea, is supported by the company demodex solutions. Their world-renowned ointment â € ˜â € ™ zz cremeâ € ™ â € ™ or â € ˜â € ™ Zhongzhou Zinc oxide and Sublimed sulfur ointmentâ € ™ â € ™  is used to reduce excessive demodex mites on the skin.

Their world-renowned ointment â € ˜â € ™ zz cremeâ € ™ â € ™ or â € ˜â € ™ Zhongzhou Zinc oxide and Sublimed sulfur ointmentâ € ™ â € ™  is used to reduce the excessive demodex mites on the skin.

  1. It remains to be seen whether the ointment works for everyone. But overall, the responses have been hit and miss. One has good results, while someone else does not work well. It seems that zz cream can make the symptoms worse than before.

  1. Furthermore, there is no openness about all the ingredients that are used. It is a fact that it is the only ointment specifically developed against the demodex mite.

  1. Below the official user manual for zz cream. As you can read it works against bacteria, parasites etc :)

  1. Whether the demodex mite has aggravated rosacea finally seems to be getting scientific support. Obviously, more should be done with this because it may very well be that the rosacea symptoms can be drastically reduced by tackling this problem. Until then, other (natural) treatments are available including cream and prescription medicines.

  1. Do you have any additional tips to reduce the demodex mite? Let me know by leaving a comment below.
