A member asked:
I have dry,flaky cheeks.and also i have pale skin sometimes i do have pimples.my skin gets irritated and red easily. can this be demodex mites ?

Unknown if cause: or coincidental. Studies have found that about 40% of people have the mites on their skin, and they are more frequently seen on people with psoriasis, rosacea and acne than healthy skin, but no studies to proven cause and effect or whether the increased sebum in those conditions is conducive to growth. Permethrin or 5% tea tree oil may improve the inflammation if used for several weeks.
