| Abstract: | A 24-year-old man presented with papulopustular, rosacea-like centro- facial lesions. Many Demodex mites were found in the affected area by microscopy of smears from pustules. This observation provides further evidence that demodicosis is a condition distinct from common rosacea. Considering clinical similarities of demodicosis, rosacea and some mycotic infections, direct examination to confirm the etiological agent is highly recommended prior to treatment. |
