Abstract
Demodex mites (namely D. folliculorum and D. Brevis) are commonly considered commensals of human pilosebaceous units. However, they are thought to play a pathogenic role in several skin conditions, specially pityriasis folliculorum, rosacea, perioral dermatitis and hair folliculitis.1 Several studies report an increased density of demodex mites in patients with rosacea (papulopustular and erythematotelangiectatic forms.
