Face Mite

Human skin pores, particularly on the face (forehead, cheeks, and around the nose)

Sebaceous oil (sebum) produced within skin pores and dead skin cells

Microscopic arachnids that remain inside follicles during the day and crawl on the skin surface at night to find mates and lay eggs

Generally harmless commensals, but overpopulation can lead to skin conditions like rosacea, blepharitis, or folliculitis (demodicosis)
