A 7-year-old girl presented with persistent pimples on her nose and cheeks for about a year. Despite treatment with topical antibiotics and acne washes, the lesions did not resolve. The girl's mother had a history of rosacea. Upon examination, erythematous papules were found on both sides of her nose and cheeks. Skin scrapings confirmed the diagnosis of demodicosis, an infestation and sensitivity to Demodex mites. Demodicosis is usually seen in older adults or immunocompromised individuals and is characterized by skin irritation, peeling, and dryness. The diagnosis is typically made through microscopic examination of a skin sample. Differential diagnoses include acne, rosacea, folliculitis, and Candida infection. Treatment for demodicosis aims to eliminate the mites and prevent recurrence, and may involve antibiotics, metronidazole, or ivermectin. Good hygiene practices are also important for prevention.
