Symptoms of mite infection

In fact, mite infection can manifest in different aspects. For example, if mites suck nutrients from skin cells, they will damage the cells and cause symptoms of itchy skin. It will also lead to increased dandruff, oily face and bacterial growth, making the skin rougher and the pores larger.

1. Dandruff and itching

Mites absorb nutrients from skin cells, destroy cells, stimulate the skin's sensory nerves, and cause itching; at the same time, skin cells age and become damaged faster, resulting in increased dandruff.

2. Oily face and bacterial growth

Mites destroy the internal environment of hair follicles and sebaceous glands, causing blockage of hair follicles and increased sebum secretion, resulting in excessive oil content in the skin and bacterial growth.

3. Enlarged pores and rough skin

If it is hair follicle mites, it will cause the hair follicles to expand and the hair follicles to be insufficiently nourished, thereby stimulating the proliferation of keratin and roughening of the skin.

4. Blackheads, acne

When a large number of hair follicle mites accumulate in a pore, it can cause folliculitis or acne. In severe cases, large patches of nodular acne or purulent acne can form. In addition, the excrement of demodectic mites can also cause pores to become clogged, forming "blackhead" acne.

5. Dark yellow skin and wrinkles

Mites absorb nutrients in the skin, stimulate capillaries and cell tissues, and lead to skin deterioration. Skin mites accelerate the formation of fine wrinkles and accelerate pigmentation such as chloasma, freckles, and dark spots.

6. Rosacea

Under the above-mentioned action, mites cause persistent erythema and capillary dilation on the wings and tip of the nose, accompanied by symptoms such as papules, pustules and itching. Eventually, rosacea or even irreversible orange peel-like "skin bumps" will develop.
