abstract = "
Demodex spp. mites are a common colonizer of sebaceous adult skin. Though usually clinically insignificant, demodicosis may be associated with a wide spectrum of skin diseases in immunocompetent hosts, such as erythematotelangiectatic and papulopustular rosacea, Demodex
folliculorum, and blepharitis. We present a case of a healthy 9yearold boy with an exuberant, inflammatory, Demodexassociated pustular eruption of the face, induced by the use of a highpotency topical steroid and successfully treated with oral ivermectin.",
