Demodex infestation is usually associated with pruritus,erythema, papules, pustules, nodules or scales with apredilection for the face, especially the nose and nasolabialfolds in an immunocompetent patient.2–6 We describe herethe case of a 40-year-old man with acute onset papules,pustules and abscess-like conglomerates associated withheavy infestation of Demodex mites on his face.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDermatologyErythromycinDoxycyclineBenzoyl peroxideAzelaic acidMite infestationsMetronidazoleMaleHumansFacial dermatosesAdultAbscessLetter0002397972000202-s2.0-337473727651002100420816922954DermatologyDemodex; Demodicosis; BlepharitisTetracyclinePseudomonic acidPermethrinMetronidazoleFusidic acidFusidate sodiumErythromycinDoxycyclineBenzoyl peroxideAzelaic acidUrinalysisTreatment outcomeTreatment failureTreatment durationSkin cultureSkin abscessPustulePriority journalPapuleMaleLetterHumanFolliculitisFace injuryErythemaDisease durationDemodexClinical examinationCheekCase reportBlood analysisAdult
