ABSTRACT

Demodectic eruptions (demodicidosis) are the infestation of hair follicles of the skin of many animals and also humans caused by mites of the family Demodicidae. A historical review of the disease is made, from 1841 –with the discovery of these mites called Demodex by Simon– to this day. The relationship of Demodex with rosacea is commented, and thoughts and opinions about this entity based on observations of the authors are included.
