For many people, the presence of a tick on the surface of the skin is considered a normal factor, it does not cause any human anxiety. The tick feeds on the dead cells of the upper layer of the skin. But still, if the body weakens, the tick immediately penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, which causes an inflammatory process. As a rule, demodex is located in the sebaceous glands and hair follicles, feeding on the contents. The tick especially prefers places where salo is high.
