How To Treat Burrowing Mite That Looks Like Cheyletiella Mites Leaving Bruises On Body?
Hi! I am suffering from some type of burrowing mite that looks like cheyletiella mites leaving bruises andredvites but inhabiting clothes, bedding, furniture, and me. It is in my hair, face, ears, back, torso, thighs and legs. It does not look like scabies. It is not bedbugs. What can they be and how do you treat them? OTC lice meds don't work? Help!i
