Tick \u200b\u200bDemodecosis - what looks like, a photo. Demodecosis in a person on the face - causes, symptoms, tests. Treatment of demodecosis at home

It is difficult not to notice demodicosis on the face, but you can confuse with rashes on the skin, especially in adolescence. The disease is accompanied by severe itching, the affected places itch, covered with a crust. They do not become smaller, so it is impossible to hope that everything will pass by itself. It is necessary to cure demodecosis in a person.

Demodecoz: what is it and what symptoms

According to dermatologists, each person has a tick under the name "Demodex" on the skin. In different areas, different varieties can remain. Normally, the tick does not harm the skin and in general to the body, but under certain circumstances, a favorable environment for reproduction is created. Then the life of a huge number of ticks, remain under the skin, which causes inflammatory processes, rashes, redness and itching.

It is not worth it to be afraid that the tick lives on the skin of each of us, since it is part of the process of renewal of tissues and blocks the reproduction of harmful bacteria. That is, it protects our skin from harmful effects and even regulates the balance. But this is normal, if something has been disinfected in the body, for example, chronic diseases have become aggravated, hormonal background was disturbed, there are not enough vitamins, then the subcutaneous tick begins to multiply rapidly.

Types, symptoms and signs of demodicosis

The disease can be:

1. Primary. That is, the person first discovered that the skin was not for the better. Before that, there were no complaints about the tick.
2. Secondary, when the skin of the face (including the body) is problematic and against this background the tick is rapidly propagated. This can be caused by skin diseases: excessive salinity, acne, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, etc.

The tick can settle anywhere: in any corner of the skin, not excluding the area of \u200b\u200beyebrows, as well as eyelashes. Therefore, demodicosis of the eyelids and demodecosis of the eye is no exception.

Demodecosis in women is more common than in representatives of the strong half of humanity due to an unstable hormonal background. The more the skin produces skin fat, the more the tick eats it, more thieves toxins and other products of life.

Not every person is found in demodicosis, but according to statistics, the tick is present in 97% of the population (in healthy people) and does not show itself. But if there are conditions favorable for development, then this is already a problem that you need to get rid of.

Demodecosis, reasons:

• excessive or long -term use of hormonal drugs (cream, ointment, gel);
• reduction of immunity;
• hormonal imbalance;
• infections and inflammation on the skin;
• unbalanced nutrition, neglect of diet, eating fatty foods, spicy and fried, sweet carbonated drinks, muffins;
• frequent stress, lack of sleep, overwork;
• improper skin care, namely, improper skin cleansing if cosmetics remained overnight;
• frequent trips to the bathhouse and solarium;
• with endocrine pathology;
• use of cosmetics with hormones;
• diseases of the stomach and intestines (including chronic);
• long -term stay in the sun without protection against ultraviolet rays;
• the use of common towels and other means (infection occurs with direct contact with the carrier);
• with certain cosmetic procedures at home or in a beauty salon. Doctors recommend approaching the choice of a cosmetologist with all responsibility.

What are the symptoms of the disease? The tick rapidly breeding on the skin cannot but be noticed, but this happens.

We list the symptoms by which you can recognize the problem:

1. Itching: tolerant and strong. But mostly itching is such that it is impossible to endure it, I want to constantly touch my face so that it does not itch. In some people, this is a habit and they do not notice what is happening to them, and for some this symptom may be absent.
2. Changing the color of the skin: due to the fact that the tick begins to actively multiply, the so-called "stir" of the skin occurs. Some areas of the skin turn red, peel, in general, the complexion becomes unhealthy, the skin is not even, but tuberous.
3. Pores are expanded, there are rashes. The subcutaneous tick causes blocking of the glands, so its active reproduction is often accompanied by acne. Due to the blockage of the sebaceous gland, the skin will try to develop more fat, but this does not save the situation, but on the contrary, exacerbates. Because of which rashes, abscesses, open wounds appear. And this is the direct path of infection.
4. Symptoms of eye demodicosis: the eyelids blush and swell, it seems that sand came into the eyes. On the eyelids, barley often jump up, eyelashes can stick together, and flaky areas appear on the tug arches. Around the eyelashes, the skin constantly exfoliates. Eyeous demodecosis is accompanied by hairs loss.

Diagnosis of demodicosis

Before considering solutions to the problem, let's learn how to identify demodicosis. It happens that there is no clinical picture, and the tick is detected, as some patients think. But it is impossible only to visually and feels diagnosed with a tick. There are special methods: this is an analysis for demodicosis or scraping for demodecosis. The analysis is taken from the site where there is a problem: itching, redness and rashes. In the laboratory conditions, units are counted per square centimeter of the skin. If ticks are more than 5 in the field of view, then this is already a problem.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Who to contact to take the analysis? It is necessary to make an appointment with a dermatologist or an optometrist.

The doctor will remove several eyelashes and place them on a glass, which will then lower them in a special solution, so that it is possible to consider and calculate the number of ticks with an increase under a microscope.
3. How is the scraping from the skin take? The analysis takes a dermatologist. Using a scalpel, it removes the upper dry particles from the affected skin (without incision and pain) or if it is required, it will take the material from acne (the contents are squeezed out). The material is placed on glass and examined similarly independently (if there is a special device in the office) or in the laboratory.
4. How is the "stickers" method? The principle is similar to the previous ones, only a sticky tape (special) is glued to the part of the face, this is done at night, in the morning the tape is removed and glued to the glass. The material is delivered to the laboratory for research. The diagnosis of demodicosis is confirmed if 5 or more adult parasites were found on a square centimeter of the skin.

You need to take a decoction inward, without breaks (that is, if you started, then at night).

Each new day is a new portion of the decoction. Drink more pleasant with a small amount of honey. This tool expels parasites from the body, cleans the intestines well.
2. We make the ointment independently from pharmacy drugs and not only: 2 Trichopolis tablets+a spoonful of castor oil, grind, apply to problem areas in the evening, wash off in the morning.
3. Apple vinegar of home cooking 6%, rub every day. More care, so that he does not get into the eye.
4. The roots of celandine (glass) are poured with the same amount of vegetable oil, put in the sun, left for 2 weeks. Filter, store in a dark place. Before use, take an oily liquid, add a little sour cream, apply like a mask to the face, left overnight.

7. We take 2 sour apples, rub on a baby grater (plastic with small notches), add fresh chopped horseradish. If it turned out 4 tbsp. Apple, then fuck only 2 tbsp. Mix the components, apply it to prepared skin (clean from the residues of makeup and skin fat).
