What causes demodex blepharitis
Demodex Mites are Often Misdiagnosed as Chronic Bacterial Blepharitis
The signature sign of Demodex is the presence of collarettes, or cylindrical dandruff, at the base of the eyelashes.1
Demodex mites are a leading cause of blepharitis, interfering with your sight, or worsen underlying skin conditions.
Blepharitis is an eyelid inflammation, which can cause itchiness around the eyelashes, redness around the eyes, and dry eyes. You may notice crusty and sticky eyelashes. You may feel like there may be something in your eyes, a burning sensation, blurry vision, and eyelash loss.
If left untreated, blepharitis can cause a sty, chalazion, chronic pink eye (conjunctivitis), dry eye, and injury of the cornea.
There are two different types of Demodex mites that live on the human body:
- Demodex folliculorum mites tend to stick around your face
- Demodex brevis mites tend to migrate to the neck and chest area
