Most people have Demodex mites on their skin. You don’t need treatment unless the mites grow out of control and cause symptoms. Treatment for a mite infestation usually involves a cream, gel, lotion or wash containing an acaricide. An acaricide is a pesticide that kills ticks and mites.
Treatment of demodicosis is weakly evidence based. In the therapy, mostly used topical sulfur products are: permethrin and ivermectin [ 1 , 3 ]. Facial Demodex infestations are also susceptible to doxycycline, erythromycin, dilute topical camphor and metronidazole [ 1 , 3 ].
Short courses of metronidazole taken orally have shown efficacy in reducing Demodex density. Additionally, topical administration of permethrin daily or twice daily was shown to be efficacious across multiple studies. Crotamiton and benzyl benzoate were also efficacious treatments.
Demodectic mange with secondary infection is treated with antibiotics and medicated shampoos. For more severe generalized cases, Amitraz is a parasiticidal dip that is licensed for use in many countries (the only FDA approved treatment in the USA) for treating canine demodicosis.
1 Ιουλ 2024 · In this article, we examine the distinctions between mange and scabies in humans and other animals. We also describe the symptoms, treatments, and prevention of mite infestations in humans.
Three forms of demodicosis are seen in dogs: localized demodectic mange, juvenile-onset generalized demodicosis, and adult-onset generalized demodicosis. Localized demodicosis is seen in dogs usually <1 year old, and most of these cases resolve spontaneously.
Background – Demodicosis is a common disease in small animal veterinary practice worldwide with a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic options. Objectives – To provide consensus recommendations on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of demodico-sis in dogs and cats.
