Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Demodicosis" in English language version.
Demodex folliculorum is a saprophytic parasitic mite of the pilosebaceous follicle and seborrheic glands and is found mainly on the face of adult men.[1,2] The role of Demodex mites in inflammatory skin conditions remains controversial, but is suggested by the efficacy of topical or oral antiparasitic therapy. Demodex folliculorum should be considered whenever a rosacea-like or papulopustular eruption of the face fails to respond to standard therapy for rosacea, and no bacterial pathogens can be implicated.[1] The condition is characterized by itchy pustules, follicular scaling and dryness, conglobata demodicosis with nodulocystic lesions, and blepharitis.[...] Treatment recommendations are supported by case reports and include crotamiton cream, tetracyclines, and topical or systemic metronidazole. Topical and oral ivermectin may be effective in severe cases, although these are not readily available in Canada.
