There are three commonly used inspection methods for Demodex:

Scotch tape application method Scotch tape is applied to the nose, sulcus, forehead, palate, and palate of the face before going to bed at night, and it is removed for microscopic examination on a glass slide in the next morning.

Squeeze the adhesive tape on the inspection site, and then use your thumb to squeeze the adhesive site and remove the tape for microscopic examination. The detection rate of this method is high.

Demodex infection is more common. The domestic population infection rate reached 97.86%. The rate of Demodex infection was basically the same between men and women, with differences

(I) Causes Demodex is a chronic inflammation caused by demodex in human hair follicles or sebaceous glands, also known as folliculitis dermatitis and rosacea.

Compound chloramphenicol tincture was applied externally and orally to metronidazole (metronidazole) in the treatment of 1,300 cases of human demodex mites, and received a significant effect with a total effective rate of 98%. Some experts performed live Demodex mites under the microscope to drop peppermint oil emulsion. It was confirmed that the Demodex mites were completely killed after 3 hours of drug action. 50 patients were treated with medication for 1 month, and 30 patients with mild disease were effective. Adding metronidazole to peppermint oil emulsion and oral metronidazole treatment is more effective. ^[7]
