Often, these rosacea symptoms mistakenly diagnosed with Demodecosis, another skin disorder caused by Demodex mites. In fact, some of the latest researches on development of demodecosis in humans do show direct link between rosacea and demodex. Some researches indicate that rosacea may start developing because of the increase presence of demodex mites. The mites irritate the skin causing it redness.
