Summary : A 24‐year‐old man presented with papulopustular, rosacea‐like centrofacial lesions. Many Demodex mites were found in the affected area by microscopy of smears from pustules. This observation provides further evidence that demodicosis is a condition distinct from common rosacea. Considering clinical similarities of demodicosis, rosacea and some mycotic infections, direct examination to confirm the etiological agent is highly recommended prior to treatment. |
