Scrape for demodex
Scraping for demodex is an analysis that helps diagnose the presence of demodex mites in the skin of the face and eyelashes. A dermatologist recommends this examination at the first suspicion of demodex.
Features of the procedure
The procedure is painless. With the help of a sterile surgical scalpel, the doctor scrapes off particles of the affected skin and the contents of the rash. After that, the particles are placed on a laboratory glass, diluted with an alkaline solution. Method 2 is also used for laboratory diagnosis of demodicosis - a tape test: the tape is glued to the skin at night, and in the morning it is removed and glued to a glass slide. The demodex mite is visible immediately under a microscope, so the results can be obtained quite quickly.
