How to Kill Demodex Mites

Demodex mites infestation is mostly known as a conditional-pathogenic parasite in dogs. But there are also Demodex mites that affect humans, which according to studies, 90% of teenagers have this as the cause of their severe acne.

In Dogs, the parasites are usually passed on from mother to puppy. In humans, the hormonal changes in the adolescent cause their sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, making the skin of the host a perfect thriving environment for the Demodex mites. For both, the continuous growth in number of the parasites causes the infections and followed by the unpleasant mange problem in dogs and acne problems in humans. How harmful are Demodex mites?

Demodex mites thrive inside the hair follicles and in the sebum produced by the subcutaneous glands. They suck nutrients from the hair roots which damage the cell walls. Their eggs are incubated in burrows they have dug into the host’s skin. The abrasion on the skin welcomes bacteria which causes infection. Demodex mites harm the skin by excreting wastes and chemicals. When they die, their bodies liquefy and decompose inside the skin. This worsens when the host has a weak immune system . This may even develop into more serious problems like allergic inflammation, erythema, papules and pustules.

Household remedies for demodex mites infection:

Tea tree oil - Tea tree oil is mostly used to heal cuts and burns; and is said to be an effective treatment for demodex mites. This oil extracted from the leaves of Australia's melaluca tree, is an effective antiseptic found in some topical treatments available in your local health store or pharmacy. Although effective on humans it not recommended for animals.

Alcohol – Rubbing affected areas with cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol once or twice daily for three weeks can help kill Demodex mites. Make sure that you clean your faces with a tea tree oil facial wash first and pat dry with a clean towel before doing the alcohol treatment.

Bleach– The bleach treatment is mostly for cleaning the environment around the infected host. With a ratio of five gallons of hot water to three cups of bleach mixed in a plastic container, wipe down all hard nonporous surfaces with this mixture. Do this cleaning twice each time and make sure to wash all used rags in bleach and hot water as well to kill most Demodex mites in the infected area.

Sulphur – ointments and products with sulphur are said to eliminate all Demodex mites and germs, stopping itch, and relieve inflammation. But be sure to follow instructions of the proper use of the product to avoid the danger of chemical burns on the skin.

Lysol – Lysol is said to be able to kill all sorts of germs and parasites, including the Demodex mites. Just like bleach, it can only be used to disinfect the surroundings of the host to prevent the spread of parasites.

Lice shampoo – Just like the head lice, Demodex mites are parasites too and some say that the lice shampoo works well in killing them.

Neem oil - Using diluted Neem oil with a ratio of 1:10 in olive oil or another carrier oil can help get rid of Demodex mites. You can also try Neem soaps, lotions and the real Neem leaf which is even safer. It is advised not to use pure Neem oil since some people are highly sensitive to it.

These home remedies have been used and are said to be effective. But of course, effectiveness will always depend on the severity of the infestation. It is always best to consult with a doctor (or a vet in the case of a pet infestation) on the best way to get rid of Demodex mites.

Demodex Folliculorum and Hair Loss

Hair loss is a widespread century old situation into which beset human beings. As to our generation these days, hair loss treatment is a need.

There are many known factors acquainted with hair loss which includes diet, stress, genetics and even chemical factors attributed with hair care products such as shampoos. What lies unknown and uncommon to mankind is the factoring cause of demodex folliculorum – a certain tiny creature, parasite to be exact, which have had the responsibility over the occurrence of hair loss.

Demodex Folliculorum or also known as Demodicids are tiny mites which thrive in skin pores and hair follicles particularly in scalp, cheeks, nose, eyebrow and even in eyelashes. They feed within the follicles at day, mate at night, and leave their eggs inside the follicles where their larvae can later feed on their host’s sebaceous oils.

Who have and who don’t have demodicids? A particular research concluded that there is a 25% incidence of the presence of demodex folliculorum in people at the age of up to 25 years old, 30% incidence up to the age of 50 years old, 50% up to the age 80 years old, and 100% in 90 years old and older.

Imagine the widespread existence of these mites in mankind. If almost everyone have these mites feeding on their hair follicles, why then not everyone gets the price of baldness? There are two (2) relevant factors that we can consider on this issue.

First, there are people whose body reactions against the existence of these mites will run through an inflammatory process. As this process unfold by blocking the hair follicle which eventually kills the mites due to a food blockade – the offset of such will also be the demise of the hair follicles causing the hair loss.

Secondly, the high degree or intensity of infestation causes the undernourishment of hair follicles. This holds the grounds of hair falling off.

The most common signs and symptoms of the presence of demodex folliculorum is itchiness in the affected hair area. Such areas include particular parts in the scalp, eyelids and even at the roots of the eyelashes. This itchiness can further cause serious problems of infection.

Treatment of such is a serious action that is being taken up nowadays.

In treating demodex folliculorum, one important note should be firstly known. Since we are taking a bath daily, even sometimes twice in a day, we should take into consideration that chemically laden shampoos could further intensify infestation. This is because some shampoos disintegrate the natural pH or acidity of the scalp which breaks the balance of sebaceous glands causing an overproduction of sebum oil. Overproduction of sebum is a primary attraction to demodex folliculorum mites, as sebum is their primary food. Occurrence of this signals a fertile breeding ground for the mites.

It is therefore important to note that treatment of such will basically require a method that which will not hamper or cause imbalance to/with the natural balance and integrity of the scalp. A wide-range option of treatments these days are readily available – which may vary from topical creams and lotions, shampoos and conditioners, and eye lotions.

However, going beyond those available treatments, we have had to get ourselves infused of basic knowledge. We may have had serious cases of diseases caused by those mites that would require us serious treatment, the need of a strong immune system prevails the best option and preventive measure.

Symptoms and Treatment of Canine Demodicosis

Canine demodicosis is also called red mange or canine skin mites. Our pets: dogs, cats and others can suffer from this skin condition. The disease often appear in form of isolated lesions that can be spotted on any part of our pets’ body. Most often, these lesions are accompanied by hair loss and spots of crusty red skin. Worst case or severe form of canine demodicosis is characterized by a foul smell and intense itchiness.

The main culprit of this skin disease is the infestation of Demodex canis, a particular dog mite thriving in the hair follicles where they could readily feed on dietary yeasts, systemic yeasts and sugar. Two main truths should be noted on such mites: (a) these mites are seemingly normal thriving parasites in almost all dogs of all ages; (b) canine demodicosis occur at the on-set of infestation. Further, it should be noted that infestation of those mites on the otherhand is driven by a weak immune system.

Hence, when we talk of canine demodicosis, two specific factors are always being considered: the mites itself which are the demodex canis; and, the infestation of those mites induced by a weak immune system.

Canine demodicosis is being classified in two forms, the juvenile-onset demodicosis and the adult-onset demodicosis.

Juvenile-onset of canine skin mites is typically present in dogs younger than two (2) years old. Infestation usually takes place at this age when the dog’s immune system has not yet achieved full development. Puppies at this age will be saved from infection of such mites once their immune system strengthens, otherwise, the infection will be carried until the puppies will grow into an adult. Adult-onset demodicosis are present in those dogs of over two(2) or four(4) years of age which is usually accompanied by a concurrent illness which mainly contributes to the weakening of the immune system. Such illnesses include cancer, hypothyroidism and neoplasia to mention a few.

Canine demodicosis can further be subdivided into two more categories namely, the localized and the generalized demodicosis.

Localized canine demodicosis is described as small, scaly patches at any infected part of the dog’s body - usually, appears in the front legs and face. A fairly mild itchiness can be observed in our pets.

Generalized canine demodicosis suggests a more serious case compared with the localized demodicosis. It can be described by the presence of multiple patches of scaly-red lesions accompanied by hair loss scattered in almost all parts of the dog’s body. Severe skin irritation is very visible and usually produces a foul smell. At this stage, the situation is usually induced and furthered by bacterial infection brought about by continuous scratching of the dog on the affected area that will result to the presence of pus in the crusty-bloody sores.

Treatment of canine demodicosis vary as to what type and as to the health status of the pet. Localized demodicosis in puppies usually heals for itself accordingly to the development and strengthening of the immune system. A good-quality diet for the puppies which will help boost the immune system will be a lot of help. This would take from six to eight weeks to achieve full recovery. It is advised that the puppies be check of presence of any intestinal parasites. Further, substances such as Godwinol should be avoided because it appears to be an irritant which could induce the progress of infection. During this natural treatment, it is suggested to follow through regular monitoring on the progress of the treatment process.

Generalized canine demodicosis however requires serious, intensive treatment. Going through a physical examination on the state of health of our pet is an essential primary step. Identifying any underlying disease of our pets will be considered to help us choose the correct treatment procedure to undergo.

Some veterinary procedures resort to the use of drugs and substances which contains active chemicals that will totally wash-off the Demodex mites. The use of acaricides is an option which is usually in a lotion form diluted in water and used like a shampoo to the infected dog.

Systemic medication and topical therapy are also among the options for treatment of demodicosis. Topical therapy involves the use of amitraz dips which requires a weekly treatment, while systemic medication includes the use of ivermectin and milbemycin. However, the use of such highly toxic substances should be carefully thought-off, calculated and applied. These substances have wide range limitations and considerations – for example, Ivermectin cannot be used and is lethal to Collies and Shelties breeds.

On the otherhand, cases with severe skin infection usually prompt veterinarians to use antibiotic therapy which is being applied for about one to two months. However, over-use of antibiotics weakens the dog’s immune system. It is therefore suggested to complement this therapy with alternative natural medications like the application of magnesium treatment.

Knowledge on treatments of such serious skin disease among our pets is a positive attitude. Yet, knowing more of its preventive measures is always an added plus factor. As always, keeping our pet’s good health state remains the best preventive action.

Can Demodex Head Mites be a cause of hair loss

Demodex follikulitis (demodikose behandlung)

The condition known as human Demodex (demodex-follikulitis) is a condition caused by skin mites, a parasitic organism that thrives in our skin and in particular in our hair follicles in the face area. Even though face mites that cause human Demodex condition are quite common not many knows about it. As a consequence people suffer from demodex condition without realizing they have the mites on the skin. It is our belief that one should know more about Demodex mites so as to be able to successfully treat it. Even though, Demodicosis (human demodex) affects many people world wide, it has not been recognized by dermatologists in many countries. Responses from people who suffer from demodex mites prove that doctors treat other skin conditions such as rosacea and/or dermatitis instead of treating demodex.

Human Demodex is a condition that can have significant impact on the human skin, especially in the delicate face area. As the mites that cause Demodex are detected in the routes of the hair follicles, there is where the problem is generated. One should pinpoint here that Demodex is not a condition that is created due to the mere existence of the mites rather than their multiplication to extreme numbers. Our immune system usually kick in and keep the mite numbers under control but when our immune system gets weaker, the numbers of the mites increase to level called - Demodicosis, when our skin can not respond quickly enough to control the mites infestation. Strong and healthy immune system is what keeps humans free from demodex related symptoms with a healthy facial skin.

The cause of manifestation of the symptoms it has usually to do with our immune system. If the immune system is weakened for any reason, the colonies of mites in the skin tend to grow without control. If the mites multiply above specific levels, symptoms start to become visible on the skin. Demodex symptoms are redness in the face, especially around the areas that have more dense hairs, a persistent itching as well as hair loss, not only in the scalp area but also eyelashes and eyebrows. One should pinpoint here that the correct diagnostics of the Demodex in humans is crucial due to the fact that other skin conditions have the exact same symptoms and in many cases treated by doctors.

The diagnostics of Demodex in humans is not complicated. Ask your doctor to check a hair follicle under a microscope. The hair mites (demodex) are very small, invisible to the naked eye and can be detected under the microscope. The doctor can detect the number and the level of activity of the mites. If their numbers are elevated that means that the majority if not all of the skin irritation symptoms that you are experiencing related to demodex mites and not caused by rosacea or dermatitis.

If you happened to have the Demodicosis (increased number of demodex mites) on your face, scalp or other body parts, you will need a treatment. The mites, once started to multiply, won’t stop causing problems to your skin. The demodex symptoms and number of the mites must be reduced and brought under control. If demodex mites’ numbers are at such high level that it can not be effectively treated with mild treatments such as ointments and creams, antibiotics are the your first step. However, you should know that antibiotics and hormonal creams (if used for long time) can negatively affect the immune system of the skin that is already infected with demodex mites. Therefore, choosing antibiotics or other chemicals as part of daily anti demodex regimen, be careful and use chemical products only as temporary measure - to stop the skin infection caused my demodex mites. Most cases of Demodex however are mild and therefore need no such treatments. Many homemade recipes are proven also quite effective but one should be careful not to overdo it. Anti demodex products made by Ovante skin care are very effective, natural and safe for any skin type.

If you have Severe form of Demodicosis, your doctor can prescribe oral antibiotics. The use of such aggressive method is the best course of action for in cases of extreme high levels of parasites on the skin one should make sure not only to destroy the mites but also to prevent potential secondary bacterial infection. It is quite fortunate that this kind of treatment is considered rare, especially in cases of western countries.

Overall, Human Demodex is a common skin condition that must be treated on time. Correct diagnosis is essential in order to obtain the best and fastest positive treatment. Play safe and use natural anti demodex products.

Demodex in humans what are the first signs of demodex to look for

Follicle Demodex mites (Demodex brevis and demodex folliculorum), bed bugs and fleas are the worlds most common ectoparasites and cause infections of the outer skin layer. Follicle mites (Demodex folliculorum) or sebaceous glands mites (Demodex brevis) colonize the skin of humans.

About 95 percent of healthy people have a few Demodex mites on them. But they are not in need of a Cure for Demodex. The average Demodex mite is only about 0.25 to 0.4 mm long. You will find them on your face, skin and hair follicles, but they are basically harmless in smaller numbers. Transmission occurs from person to person. The infection begins in infants with the first parent-child contact. With increasing age, the density of mites per follicle increases. You will only need a Cure for Demodex mites when you have an over population of mites in or on your skin.

Most mites are harmless, but they can cause an inflammatory disease in the sebaceous glands, usually on the face, called (demodicosis). A severe infestation of the follicle is often seen in people with seborrheic skin type.

A Cure for Demodex mites is needed when there are highly infested areas, resulting in infection of the skin follicles, along with follicular bound papules or papulopustules. The skin may also be scaly and itchy sometimes too.

For topical and systemic therapy, there are effective drugs available. Metronidazole can be applied locally and systemically. An alternative is oral doxycycline (100 mg twice daily). There is also a lot of success with the insecticide such as permethrin 5 percent cream is used.

If you are resistant to traditional medicine or it is not working very well, then you can try other treatments. Some people use Tea Tree Oil to help kill off the mites. The mites are not affected by exposure to the oil its self, but die off when they eat the oil. The Demodex mite is a dead skin eater. It however will eat live skin when it starts to burrow down and lay its eggs. If whilst the mite is eating, it eats the oil, then it dies. This means that even if you are simply prone to skin trouble through mites, then you can use products such as Tea Tree Oil soap, to help stop the mite re-grouping. You can also use Tea Tree oil (diluted) as an oil to leave on your skin if you have a particularly bad area.

There are also products that have sulfur in them. It is in small enough doses so that it will not burn your skin, but is still strong enough to kill off any skin parasites. The only trouble with sulfur products is that you cannot use them very often. They make your skin very dry, and the mites eat dead skin. This means that the ones that do survive, or return off of your beds pillow will have plenty to eat. This means you have to manage your skin very well after you have used a sulphur product. Before you attempt any Cure for Demodex mites, you should consult a doctor, to be sure that you are actually infected with mites, and that is it not something more serious.

Demodex folliculorum

Demodex folliculorum is a skin problem that is created by the excessive action of the Demodex parasites. These parasites can be found naturally around hair follicles in all kind of mammals and naturally in humans. These parasites make visible their existence and create skin problems when their numbers increase above certain levels. They feed of gland secretions and that is why this condition is many times naturally presented during puberty.

Usually our immune system keeps the levels of these parasites on the human skin in a specific level where they are harmless to our wellbeing. Poor diet, intense stress levels and everything that tempers our immune system however allows these parasites to become dangerous. In their mild form Demodicosis is presented as inflammation, irritation or hair loss. Under no circumstance it can be proven to be a life-threatening condition but it can create a number of problems that need immediate treatment.

Certain parts of the human body such as the area around the eyes, the ears and the scalp present higher risk of presenting Demodicosis. Once the condition is diagnosed there are a number of ways to deal with the problem. The most common treatment includes a number of antibiotics but one can successfully treat mild cases with home made remedies and other antibiotic-free products. One should always follow the advice of once physician of course but the cases where antibiotics are your only choice are very rare.

Don’t forget that the issue at hand is not to exterminate the parasites but to reduce their numbers in non problematic levels. Natural products can do just that without the side effects of antibiotics that can hit the liver, stomach and kidney, especially in cases of low immune system levels.

Demodikose behandlung

It is peculiar to come up with a realization that attending to various skin conditions is an already ancient fragment of mankind’s daily routine. However, time stand witness that we are more overwhelmed of the signs and symptoms these conditions generate and not much on its basic consequential reasons.

A short overview of demodicosis might lighten up some issues we deal with each day.

Human demodicosis is a skin condition caused by infestation of microscopic mites called demodex which thrives in the depths of sebaceous glands and near the hair follicles. Among the 65 demodex species discovered, two of which were identified to be living on humans: demodex folliculorum hominis is found in hair follicles, while demodex brevis thrives in sebaceous or fat glands connected to the hair follicles. It should however be noted that a particular demodex canis which lives predominantly in domestic dogs can actually infest humans too.

Studies show that demodex folliculorum hominis and demodex brevis feed on cellular proteins, oil, sebum, dead skin, and possibly on some substances in the system that extends to the follicle such as hormones, systemic yeast, and/or sugar. Although can be found in some other parts of the body, this explains why both parasites preferably thrive in facial skin, forehead, cheeks, eyelashes, and external ear channels.

Most people do have demodex mites living in their skin, but excessive increase in population of these mites leading to demodicosis can cause serious discomfort (such as rough, dry and scaly skin, and a feeling of itchiness at night) and may contribute to other skin problems.

People should know that demodicosis or over-infestation of demodex mites is mainly attributed to a person with a weak immune system. This clearly explains why person A with a weak immune system is more likely to acquire demodicosis than person B with a strong immune system even though both are aware of hosting demodex mites in their skin. Also, this explains why demodicosis is more frequent among older people (studies show that an 84% demodicosis cases are attributed in people with a mean age range of 61 years old).

Demodex Mange in humans symptoms, treatment, causes of human mange

Mange in humans is a contagious disease associated with poor hygiene. It is more commonly known as scabies and causes severe itching. It is often mistakenly believed to be contracted from animals, however the parasite that causes animal mange does not like the taste of human flesh. For that reason, it is impossible to catch human mange (scabies) from an animal or pet.

The human mange disease known as scabies is a skin disease that is transmitted by a parasite and it is characterized by itching and skin lesions of varying severity. There are often several scabs in a localised area, and this is known as the most common human form of mange. In this form, the contamination may be from one individual to another, whether through direct physical contact, through sexual contact or through contaminated objects (bedding, linen, etc..).

Animals may get manage, though this is not transmitted to humans. Scabies can also occur in other forms, such as scabies in infants resulting in the appearance of vesicular lesions or the so-called Norwegian scabies that occurs particularly in immuno-compromised patients. It is characterized by the appearance of thick crusts. These symptoms can occur in animals and humans respectively.

What are the causes of Demodex mange in Humans?
The parasite causing scabies measures about 0.3 to 0.4 mm long. The female mite spends about one month to dig a tunnel through the tougher thick layer of the skin where it then deposit their eggs. After two weeks, the mites hatch and become adults and return to the surface of the skin. From there, the adults mate and begin the same cycle, in the same person or in someone else. Scabies is often associated with poor hygiene, while in fact it is not related. It is about the skin mites and not hygiene.

What are the symptoms of human demodex mange?
For about a month, the disease is considered asymptomatic, as there are no visible signs. Itching will eventually occur, usually at night or after a hot bath. They correspond to an allergy to the parasite faeces deposited in the tunnel that the mite has dug. These are the first signs of the disease that show as clearly evident. Then the grooves corresponding to the tunnels appear. These grooves are visible to the naked eye and are often terminated at the end by a translucent pearl shape. They are often found mostly between fingers, wrists, elbows, buttocks, then they become widespread as they spread across the face, neck, palms and soles. In women they may be seen on the areolas of the breasts.

How to diagnose demodex mange in humans?
Diagnosis is based the identification of the adult parasites recovered through a scraping with a scalpel blade. A Microscopic examination will show the parasites, their eggs or their faeces. In humans, the presence of grooves and itching may be all the diagnosis required.

What are the complications from demodex mange in humans?
The major risk is that of a secondary bacterial infection.

Who to consult?
The attending physician or dermatologist.

What are the treatments? Once the diagnosis is made, it is imperative to treat the patient as soon as possible, as well as everyone around him/her, even if there are no signs of the disease. Contaminated laundry must also be completely washed and disinfected. Normally the patient should be isolated in the first 48 hours of treatment. A cream containing permethrin is preferred to preparations containing lindane. These products are available as lotions, sprays or cream and whole body must be covered. The user manual of each product must be followed exactly to avoid the risk of respiratory tract irritation and, especially in children. If the treatment does not work externally, tablets may be prescribed.



Canine demodicosis treatment symptoms causes

Demodicosis is a skin disease that affects dogs, and it is due to infection of hair follicles by a parasite. This parasite is a microscopic mite called Demodex canis. It has a peculiar elongated shape. As with scabies in humans, it burrows to lay its eggs, and it is this activity that causes severe itching in dogs.

It mainly affects young dogs, which are contaminated during the first few months of life through contact with the mother during lactation. Many dogs are infested with this parasite without any clinical signs. 85% of healthy dogs are carriers of this parasite. Only a few dogs show clinical signs because these dogs have an inefficient or deficient immune system. The disease occurs in puppies between three and twelve months old. Sometimes older dogs have the disease as the result of an immune deficiency, or secondary to another disease (endocrinopathy, tumour involvement). Certain breeds are predisposed to this parasitic disease. The skin lesions during Demodicosis show as circumscribed hair loss. There is also often dander (dandruff). Sometimes demodicosis is complicated by the appearance of a secondary bacterial infection of the skin or significant dermal inflammation.

The infected dog has lesions on its limbs and on the face around the eyes. There is also a form called disseminated depilations through the seborrhoea coupled with a strong skin odour. This is basically where the hair falls out almost evenly throughout the body but at a slower rate. In general, there is often no evidence of itching. Sometimes it is the hair loss that is the only symptoms that are easily identified by the owners.

The severe form occurs when dry demodicosis is complicated by a bacterial skin infection. What is known as a deep pyoderma, whose main source of infection by staphylococci (nasty bacteria). The skin becomes covered with oozing and crusting or boils both unsightly and irritating to the dog. There are also severe itching and hyperkeratosis (thickening of the skin). Sometimes the disease is so serious that it affects the general condition of the animal. The dog becomes depressed, emaciated and dehydrated.

Treatments?
To completely get rid of the parasite, veterinary practitioners prescribe tablets that have active ingredients against Demodex. The dog should also be given baths in chemicals that have acaricides for destroying the Demodex mite, which is often a lotion diluted in water.

The baths should be given once every two weeks until recovery. Whatever the type of treatment performed, the length of it is still very long and expensive. It takes between 2 and 4 months for complete healing. Regular checks should be done by performing skin scrapings. The treatment can be stopped if they do not observe more than two parasites on scrapings performed at weekly intervals. Recurrences are uncommon (10% of cases). Bitches in heat or pregnant may have a recurrence. It should be prevented from breeding to prevent them from transmitting the parasite to puppies.

In case of a strong skin infection the vet must also perform antibiotic therapy. The infected skin may become difficult to overcome by conventional treatments. The dog ends up being saturated with antibiotics and the immune system weakens, which creates a vicious circle.

By implementing a protocol of several natural medicines, such as a magnesium treatment, it can help the antibiotics, immune system and pills do their job. They will all complement each other.

Sea Buckthorn Oil Treatment

Demodex in Scalp is the evident reason of hair loss. These are actually tiny little mites that reside in your hair and eat up your roots. These are also called face mites; this is because they are also a big reason for uncountable skin diseases. Skin conditions caused by these mites are blackheads, acne and Rosacea.

These mites can be as long as four millimeters and as small as one millimeter. They can be found in the pores of your skin. They are mostly residing on the skin of your nose, cheeks, scalp, eyebrows and eyelashes. They are more like worms, they have scales all over their bodies and they also have tiny little claws. The females of these insects can lay more than twenty six eggs at a time in one follicle.

In a research it was found that they start appearing in people at the age of twenty and can remain there until the end of a person’s life (or when they do not have any hair left). Even though there are not many widely known treatments for this disease but some of them may be found on the internet.

The Sea Buckthorn oil is the known treatment for this condition. It will nourish your hair and make these little guys leave their residence and flush out. This oil is naturally gifted and you can get so much more then Demodex free hair. Your hair will be smooth, silky and shiny.

Human Demodex Brevis Symptoms

Demodex brevis is one of the species of microbial arthropods (insects) that cannot be seen with a naked eye. It is commonly called as facial mites because it is usually concentrated in facial skin regions and is one of the contributors of human skin disease called Demodicosis. Demodicosis, caused by Demodex brevis and Demodex folliculorum on humans, is characterized by dry, rough, scaly and inflamed facial skin.

Demodex brevis lives in the sebaceous glands that are connected to tiny hair follicles and feeds on the oil producing cells of the gland. It is classified as commensals (those organisms that benefit from the host without harming them) and is usually harmless under the check of our immune system.

Under the compromised immune conditions, it easily proliferates and develops an active Demodicosis. Immune suppression may occur due to ageing skin, inappropriate hygiene and diet, prolonged use of antibiotics or state of convalescence, which may lead to active infestation of Demodex brevis.

There are several preventive measures and therapeutic options available to control Demodex brevis. Habitually, you should avoid accumulation of oil on your face because it provides a favorable medium to facial mites. Avoid oil based make up and greasy cleansers and regularly perform exfoliation to remove the dead and aging skin cells. For fully active and afflicting facial mites, topical insecticides in combination with oral or topical antibiotics are usually prescribed. The symptomatic presentation of active Demodex brevis is very similar to rosacea and acne, therefore you should get the demodex identification test done and avoid using self prescription of therapeutic agents.

Shampoo for Demodex Hair Mites

There are studies that shows that populations of Demodex in the follicles have been highly correlated with the male pattern baldness. From the statistics on 99 subjects involved in the study, 87.3% of patients suffering from alopecia were found to have a Demodex infestation. 12% of patients suffering from alopecia tested negative for having Demodex infestation.

The control group were people who had a full head of hair. 13.6% of the control group tested positive for Demodex and 86.4% of the control group tested negative for Demodex infestation.

As the numbers show, a significant majority of people suffering from hair loss have found Demodex in their follicles. The numbers also show that only a small percentage of people without hair problems has Demodex in their scalp.

Currently, the only thing that this study was able to prove is that Demodex is associated with male pattern baldness, but we do not know if they really play a role in male pattern baldness or whether they are harmless and are only attracted by the follicles that are already bald (because this was the follicle would provide them a conducive environment for living, in terms of sebum oil / food abundance).

So, we face the classic dilemma of cause and effect, ie: it is not clear if the Demodex cause baldness, or vice versa, their proliferation is a result of a state of baldness already started. In theory, Demodex may cause inflammation (such as of the rest can also in other skin diseases), which may further aggravate the hair loss.

Shampoos with a Demodex killing agent will help to quell the numbers of mites killing hair follicles in your scalp. The problem with most chemical shampoos is that they damage both the hair, the skin and the hair follicles, making hair loss more likely. A shampoo with agents that kill Demodex mites and treats the scalp to help it heal is far better. This will gently remove the dirt that the mites feed on, and will kill the mites so that your hair is free to grow healthy, hence reducing the chances of it falling out.

A shampoo with natural healing properties will help to stop the scalp from reacting so harshly, and help stop the follicles from dying. Once the body’s immune system realises that the hair follicles have fewer mites in, they will stop taking such drastic action and stop swelling up the hair follicles. This in turn will help to stop further damage and help stop the hair falling out.

Some chemical agents are strong enough to kill the mites but will also damage the hairs roots. They can also cause the skin on the scalp to become flaky or greasy, which leads to dandruff. Mites are then more likely to re-infest when the chemical treatment stops, because the mites will happily feed on your dandruff. There is also the chance that the mites will react to the chemical agents and adapt so that it doesn’t affect them. They are then free to eat away at your scalp, safe in the knowledge that all the chemicals are doing is damaging the scalp and giving them more food.

Demodex Mites Treatment in Humans

There are a lot of treatments for Demodex mites, and due to the nature of humanity, some will work for one person and not the other. For this reason there are a lot of various treatments that you can try, either one at a time or together.

There are oral antibiotics such as tetracycline and minocycline which sometimes are all the body needs to start healing and fighting back. On other occasions a person may experience side effects, and with prolonged use without effect will actually start to feed the mites. After 3-4 months with little improvements, the mites may begin to convert the antibodies into food to help swell their numbers.

There are also creams for application to the area, known as metronidazole. The topical creams corticosteroids are often contraindicated (best not used) especially the fluorinated ones because even though they will at first have a positive effect, it is widely believed that their prolonged use actually leads to rosacea.

Oils such as Neem Oil and Lemon Grass Oil are often preferred by some people due to the fact that they are a softer treatment. They create an inhospitable environment for the mites whilst at the same time help the skin to heal, so that the there is less food available for the mites. The oil can penetrate deep into the sufferers skin and has no side affects. This is also good because a sufferer can use it as often as they like without ill effect.

The other treatments for Demodex mites are things such as antibacterial washes, oral antibiotics, topical creams, light pulse therapy, isotretinoin and other photodynamic therapy treatments. One must consider other treatments before moving to such extreme measures. Trying things like soaps, cleansers, body washes and shampoos with anti Demodex agents may have a better effect. Also things such as improving a sufferers immune system, and a change in their hygiene routine may help. This involves things such as changing their bed sheets and (especially) pillow cases frequently.

Another possible treatment may be a sulfur cream or a twice per day sulfur wash, then followed by antibacterial or anti-mite cream afterwards. This is a rather aggressive form of treatment and other forms should be tried first before going to these measures. The skin often reacts to such a barrage of treatment by flaking, which creates more food for the mites. The sulfur does help knock a few of the mites from your pores, but the then dried skin makes life a little easier for the mites left behind. Combinations of sulfur washes and creams should really only be tried after you have tried a few less aggressive methods first.

Azelaic acid (Finacea gel 15%) is another treatment that works for some people, but again is an aggressive treatment that will damage the skin, and during the period of healing is all the next wave of mites needs to re-form their stronghold on the face. The acid however can help control the swelling, but is best used in conjunction with other treatments.

The daily anti demodex therapy will not be complete without a nutrient-rich diet. Vitamin C, known as ascorbic acid, help to promote healthy skin and strengthen the immune system. Most people know how important vitamin C can be for strengthening immunity. In case of demodicosis, where immune system of your skin is weak, use of natural anti demodex products is more sufficient than use of chemicals. Products with antibiotics and other chemicals suppress the immune system and should be used as preventative measure - to stop the infection caused by demodex mites.

DEMODEX CONTROL is aLL natural anti-demodex cream. It contains sulfur with herbal extracts, vitamins and minerals. When applied on to your skin, the active ingredients are deeply absorbed into the skin pores killing the mites. The vitamins and minerals restore the skin's immune system suppressed by demodex. Oils and herbal extracts promote healthier looking skin and prevent demodex from returning.

Menneskelige Infektioner Med Demodex

Demodicosis in humans(menneskelige infektioner med Demodex) is a skin condition caused by microscopic mites that can live on the skin of humans and animals. The mites called: demodex, it lives in depths of sebaceous glands and near the hair follicles. There are more than 60 species of demodex. Demodex folliculorum, Demodex brevis and Demodex canis live on humans. Animals: dogs, cats and other pets are not as lucky as humans because the rest of the demodex species belongs to them and can not be found on humans.

For the very first time, demodex mites (Demodex folliculorum) were identified in 1842. The size of adult Demodex mite is 0.3 mm - 0.4mm in length.

The sunlight is disturbing for mites. One of the reasons why, these parasites are active at night, keeping people with demodicosis awake due to skin crawling sensation and itching.

Even though most humans have the mites on the skin, they never develop demodicosis (uncontrolled growth of demodex). Good and balanced defense mechanisms of our immune system regulate the mites, preventing them from growing to the point of demodicosis - when treatment is necessary to stop the growth and put the mites under control.

Why some people have demodex folliculorum and others don't? It is all because of our immunity. Some of us - humans have very strong immune system and others don't. It is natural and there is nothing we can do about it except making our immune system stronger: with healthy diets, exercises etc. Why our immune system weakens? The main immunity declined factors negatively affecting our immune system are: aging, recovery from long illness, use of antibiotics and chemicals.
