How do you get rid of forehead mites?

First, I'm assuming you're referring to forehead mites that infest human beings. There are two specific types of "forehead mites", one is Demodex folliculorum this type of mite burrows into the area between the hair folicle and the skin. The other type is Demodex Brevis which resides in the sebaceous glands adjacent to hair follicles. It should be clarified that between 50-75% of all human beings have these parasites and in the vast majority of cases they cause no harm, but recent studies point to a link between forehead mites and rosacea Currently, to the best of my knowledge, there is no affective over the counter treatment for these critters. A dermatologist can test for these parasites and prescribe an anti-parasitic or insecticide like permethrin. The medical community believes that there is no way to irradicate these creatures completely, and if they're not causing issues, and you aren't immuno-compromised, why bother?


Who knows about Demodex Mites human variety. Not the animal type. They are different.?

Demodex is a genus of tiny parasitic mites that live in or near hair follicles of mammals. About 65 species of Demodex are known; they are among the smallest of arthropods.Demodex canis lives on the domestic dog. Infestation with Demodex is common and usually does not cause any symptoms, although occasionally some skin diseases can be caused by the mites.Two species living on humans have been identified: Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, both frequently referred to as eyelash mites. Both species are primarily found in the face, near the nose, the eyelashes and eyebrows, but also occur elsewhere on the body.In the vast majority of cases, the mites go unobserved, without any adverse symptoms, but in certain cases (usually related to a suppressed immune system, caused by stress or illness) mite populations can dramatically increase, resulting in a condition known as demodicosis or Demodex mite bite, characterised by itching, inflammation and other skin disorders. Blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) can also be caused by Demodexmites. There is some evidence linking Demodex mites to some forms of the skin disease rosacea, possibly due to the bacterium Bacillus oleronius found in the mites


Shots to prevent demodex mange?

There are no "shots to prevent demodex mange". Demodex mange is caused by a parasite. Prevention of demodex includes minimizing stress for the animal, providing a balanced diet and vaccinating and deworming appropriately to help prevent the immune system from becoming overworked due to infection. All preventative measures for demodex are aimed at keeping the immune system functioning well so that the number of demodex mites are kept in check.
