Materials and research methods

At the Department of Skin and Venereal Diseases of the Crimean State Medical University. S.I. Georgievsky. We used a series of drugs “Stop Demodex”, produced in Ukraine, as an additional external therapy, which consists of a mild cleansing soap for the facial skin, shampoo, therapeutic and prophylactic balm and eyelid gel. The active components of the drugs are metronidazole and birch tar, which have pronounced acaricidal properties against Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis mites, as well as bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. Extracts of white willow bark and witch hazel, which are included in the preparations, help reduce sebum secretion by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Super critical - CO2 - chamomile extract contains a high concentration of matrixin and azulene - powerful antihistamine components that almost instantly relieve redness. Vitamin A stimulates tissue regeneration and promotes rapid regression of rashes without scarring. In addition, according to a number of researchers [12], with demodicosis, immunological changes and dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract are observed, which makes it advisable to prescribe Stop Demodex drops based on plant extracts. Thus, Echinacea purpurea extract is used as a powerful immunostimulant and anti-inflammatory agent. It is used as an adjuvant in the complex treatment of various skin diseases (demodex and acne). Calendula officinalis has an anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. Calendula preparations accelerate tissue regeneration processes and promote faster epitheliation. Common yarrow has a general strengthening, antispasmodic effect. They help with gastrointestinal diseases, especially peptic ulcers, and improve metabolism.

45 patients with demodicosis were examined . The diagnosis was confirmed by laboratory (microscopic examination). The largest number of our clinical observations were women (67%), men – 33% of patients. The distribution of the studied patients with demodicosis by age and gender is presented in Table 1 .

The distribution of all examined patients into subgroups depending on the form of the disease and the prevailing nature of the eruptive elements in the lesions of the skin was carried out according to the classification:

1. The erythematous form of the disease was observed in 13 patients.
2. The papular form of the disease was observed in 17 patients.
3. The pustular form of the disease was observed in 8 patients.
4. The combined form of the disease was observed in 7 patients.

Against the background of persistent red or bluish-red congestive erythema with an abundance of thin and wide telangiectasia, characteristic papular and pustular elements were located. More often, a grouping of papular elements into bluish-red or bluish-colored plaques was observed, on the surface of which small (1–2 mm in diameter) and large (up to 5–6 mm in diameter) pustular elements, as well as purulent and bloody-purulent crusts were detected .

We also examined all patients for the presence of specific eye damage, we took into account the data of the disease history, clinical picture and laboratory tests, the secretion of the sebaceous gland of the hair follicle of the cilia was taken from all patients, and if a mite was detected, the patients were sent for a consultation with an ophthalmologist.

Depending on the form of eye damage in patients with demodicosis, asymptomatic carriage, erased form, blepharoconjunctivitis and episcleritis were distinguished (Table 2).

Asymptomatic carriage was observed in 8 (17%) patients, in which the diagnosis was verified by the detection of acne glands on the roots of the eyelashes and in the secretions of the sebaceous glands. Such patients did not complain, however, from the anamnesis it was possible to find out that previously they periodically noted redness of the edges of the eyelids, itching and the sensation of a foreign body in the eye.

An erased form of demodicosis of the eyes was observed in 4 (9%) patients, in this case there was: severe itching of the eyelids, especially in the morning after sleep, pain in the eyes, loss of eyelashes. Biomicroscopy revealed enlarged and dark bulbs of individual eyelashes, translucent and cylindrical muffs at their roots, and sometimes small multiple papillomas, which is typical for chronic blepharitis. Demodectic blepharitis was diagnosed in 3 (7%) patients and manifested itself with more pronounced changes than erased forms of the disease. First, focal lesions appeared, localized around the eyelashes, then they spread and captured the entire edge of the eyelid. Conjunctival hyperemia was accompanied by moderate mucous discharge, accumulating on the edges of the eyelids in the form of yellowish crusts.

The duration of the disease with demodicosis ranged from 4 to 15 years. Previously, all patients were treated using general and local therapy. Stop Demodex drugs were prescribed as additional therapy.

The treatment was prescribed according to the following scheme

It was recommended to wash with Stop Demodex mild cleansing soap twice a day. A small amount of soap was applied to the skin of the face, foamed, left for 20–30 s and washed off with water.

Treatment and prophylactic balm “Stop Demodex”: applied to cleansed skin of problem areas 2 times a day for 45 days.

Before applying the eyelid gel, it was recommended to treat their edges with tincture of calendula or eucalyptus using a cotton pad that was soaked in the solution. The procedure was repeated after 15 minutes. In case of simultaneous damage to the ear canal, ears, eyebrows, it is also recommended to treat these areas before applying the gel.

Stop Demodex eyelid gel was applied to the eyelids as close as possible to the eyelash growth area for 30 minutes. Must be applied twice daily for 45 days. Excess gel is removed using a cotton swab.

In case of damage to the scalp, it was recommended to wash the hair with Stop Demodex shampoo 2 times a week for at least 6 weeks. Apply to damp hair for 2-3 minutes. Rinse with water.

As a general tonic, after completing the course of treatment, it was recommended to take “Stop Demodex” drops based on plant extracts as a dietary supplement to the diet for 30 days, 30 drops 2 times a day with meals.

Results and discussions

Thus, complex therapy using the “Stop Demodex” series of drugs has significantly improved the results of treatment of patients with demodicosis, especially with the papulopustular clinical form. From the start of treatment on days 6-7, there was a decrease in the inflammatory reaction of fresh elements. On day 15, the itching of the skin disappeared and the number of rashes decreased. Complete regression of the rash was observed after 4 weeks of treatment. After the end of treatment on the 10th day, the absence of mites on the skin and in the area where the ducts of the sebaceous glands are excreted, in the area of ​​eyebrows and eyelashes was laboratory confirmed.

Directions for use and doses

The effect of the gel is enhanced by pre-treatment of the application sites with alcohol tinctures of medicinal plants (calendula, eucalyptus, aralia).

Processing method:

• A small cotton swab is moistened in the tincture, squeezed out and wiped over the edges of closed eyelids.
• The procedure is repeated 15 minutes after the solution has dried.
• The gel is applied along the eyelash line closer to the edge, avoiding getting the product into the eyes. After 30 minutes of exposure, the residues are removed with a napkin.

The gel is used morning and evening after washing with soap for 1.5 months. Treatment of the ear canal with gel is mandatory. If itching is present, the eyebrows, forehead, chin and wings of the nose are also treated.
