Does Demodex Come Out As Black Specs?
i emailed you yesterday about what i think is demodex on my face, eyelashes, etc. however, my question was do they ever come out on your face as little black specs like pepper. I paid for and received an answer leading me to a website for how they intrude your follicles....I know that. however, I saw a couple of bugs (extremely tiny) on my face and wanted to know if that changed the diagnosis of demodex. why should i have to pay again when you didn t answer my question yesterday?

Hello,
Demodex is not visible to the naked eye. Perhaps the black specs you notice are blackheads.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S., Dermatologist
