Demodex Blepharitis: What You Need to Know
Demodex blepharitis is a common yet often overlooked condition caused by an overgrowth of microscopic mites called Demodex. These mites live in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the skin, including the eyelids. While they are a natural part of our skin's microflora, an excessive population can lead to inflammation and irritation of the eyelids, resulting in symptoms such as redness, itching, and eyelash loss.
Patients with Demodex blepharitis may experience persistent eyelid inflammation, itching, burning sensations, and recurrent styes. Diagnosing this condition typically involves examining the eyelashes for cylindrical dandruff or using a microscope to identify the mites.
Demodex should be investigated if you have chronic blepharitis symptoms that aren’t responding to standard treatments like warm compresses and eyelid scrubs.
