Another clinical study has revealed demodex as a factor to consider in
evaluating patients and concluded:

"Demodicidosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of facial
eruptions in patients receiving phototherapy." source >

The good thing about this report is that it concludes what I have been saying
that a differential diagnosis should be done by taking a skin test for
demodex. Physicians don't do this. The assume that demodex plays an
insignificant or minor role in rosacea and they don't perform this test.

Demodicidosis is a disease sui generis (distinct from rosacea) and should
be considered in a differential diagnosis of rosacea. Demodectic rosacea
is the variant of rosacea in those patients where 'pre-existing' rosacea
is found. There is confusion on whether the role of demodex in rosacea is
major or minor, but nevertheless, there is a role established for demodex
in rosacea.

I have written a chapter in my new book, Rosacea 101, Chapter 7, page
28, Demodectic Rosacea - A Rosacea Variant, which goes into more detail
about this. I have listed a comprehensive page on demodex rosacea research
which you can read at this url:
