Demodicosis on the face appears when there are certain factors that could provoke it. The disease itself arises from the active activity of a parasitic tick, which provokes an inflammatory process in the depth and on the surface of the skin. As a result of such activities, deep inflamed locations with severe itching appear on the face. Ticks settle in the sebaceous glands, where there is an ideal environment for their life. To prevent further spread of demodicosis and worsening of the general condition of the patient, it is necessary to identify the cause of the pathology and begin therapy.
