ABSTRACT
We report a 39-year-old female patient who developed pruritic erythematous telangiectatic patches with scaly follicular papules on the neck and upper chest for 4 years. Ten per cent potassium hydroxide preparation of skin scrapings revealed Demodex folliculorum. Histology showed three Demodex mites in one of the hair follicles. She was treated with a topical steroid without improvement. The skin lesions and Demodex mite disappeared after a single application of 1 per cent gamma benzene hexachloride but twice daily application of 1 per cent gamma benzene hexachloride for 2 weeks was needed to prevent recurrence.
