| Diagnosis: | FOLLICULITIS, DEMODEX / FOLLICULITIS | Category: | infections and infestations / hair disorders | ||
| Body Site: | nose | Age: | 75 years | ||
| Contributors: | Robert Law, MD Greg Hosler, MD, PhD | ||||
| Description: | This wet prep also demonstrates the features of the Demodex mite. The wet prep was prepared by squeezing a pore on the nose of a volunteer, projecting the organism onto a slide. | ||||
| Comments: | This lesion from the nose of a 75-year-old man was submitted to rule out basal cell carcinoma. Demodex mites are ectoparasites that are common inhabitants of the skin and pilosebaceous unit. To the non-dermatopathologist, their presence can be unsettling. Their role in inflammatory processes such as rosacea is controversial. In this case, the mite was extruded into the surrounding dermis following follicle rupture, secondary to folliculitis. It is now clearly contributing to the inflammation. The mite can be differentiated from a scabies mite by its anatomic location and relatively elongated body. | ||||

| Body Site: | shin / leg | Age: | 22 years | ||
| Contributor: | Sugathan Paramoo, MD, FRCP(Glasg) | ||||
| Description: | multiple symmetric follicular pustules | ||||
| Comments: | A 22-year-old woman complained of ichy follicular pustules on both shins for 7 years. Treatment with several antibiotics gave only temporary releif. Multiple cultures yielded coagulase positive Staphylococci of varying sensistivity to antibiotics. First decribed by Clarke from Nigeria this problem is very common in southern India and responds most effectively to hair removal laser. In this disorder lesions recur or persist until scarring results in permanent hair loss. Men and woman with coarse hair may be affected. | ||||
