Baby shampoo and Demodex mites
In this article, we will discuss the effectiveness of baby shampoo to help eliminate Demodex mites.
First, let's take a brief look at what Demodex mites are.
What symptoms can Demodex mites cause them to emerge or irritate?
Demodex mites are microscopic 8-legged parasites that thrive on the sebaceous glands under our hair follicles. In many adults, they are not many problems when low density is found but can cause or irritate various skin and hair problems in high populations, including blepharitis, rosacea, acne, hair loss, and many more.
Many of those who suffer from blepharitis may have the idea of using baby shampoo to help treat and eliminate Demodex from eyelashes, but is this claim quite right?
Can baby shampoo eliminate Demodex mites and help improve blepharitis?
In some cases where blepharitis is resistant to treatment and is not resolved with antibiotics, Demodex mites are very likely to cause these symptoms. Demodex blepharitis is the same as bacterial blepharitis, but it may not be adequately treated with baby shampoos or antibiotics.
Studies have estimated that the use of baby shampoo as an ingredient in anti-Demodex products would not be helpful in eliminating Demodex mites. Instead, baby shampoo can further stimulate Demodex to move to the skin[1], and the formaldehyde released by its preservatives may increase eye and skin irritation in some people [2].
How to Diagnose Blepharitis Linked to Mites Demodex
There are two types of blepharitis: anterior blepharitis and posterior blepharitis. These two differ from each other depending on the species of Demodex present in humans: anterior blepharitis is caused by D. folliculorum, and posterior blepharitis is caused by D. Brevis. People with rosacea can also suffer from blepharitis, as Demodex mites are generally known to bring out rosacea in most people.
