You can go to the department to do a test, which is not expensive, and you can also understand yourself correctly.

If your face is particularly itchy, the pores are enlarged, and it is particularly easy to produce oil when you are sleeping every night, it means that there are already mites. In the future, you must clean up the sheets and covers in time, and you must ventilate more.

You can look at your own **, whether there is some itching at night, and whether there are some acne on the face, all the time, when you get up in the morning, the face is not particularly oily, the pores are getting rougher and rougher, and there is the phenomenon of molting.

If you don't pay attention to hygiene, you will not wash your hair regularly and form a lot of oil on the surface of the scalp, which is the food of mites, which will provide a place for mites to breed and multiply.

Mites on our heads are caused by the fact that we often wash our hair with cold water, use a lot of low-quality shampoos, and we go to sleep early when our hair is not dry, which will cause mites on our heads.

Insufficient local hygiene and damp bedding can lead to head mites. The overbreeding of mites will cause inflammation, so it is important to pay attention to it.

1.Personal hygiene is not in place, and the habit of washing hair on time is not developed, and it is often delayed for several days before washing hair; 2.If the bed sheets and quilt covers are not changed in time, especially the pillow covers need to be cleaned and changed frequently, there will be many mites on them; 3.

If you often wear a hat that is not breathable, your head will always be oily, causing hair follicles to clog.

Mites on the body and head are caused by poor hygiene. Either you haven't washed your sheets and pillows for a long time, or you wash your hair too often.

Do you know? There is a presence in this world called the head mite. It is a kind of mite that lives in the hair follicles of the human scalp.

Head mites mainly parasitize in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands of the scalp, feed on a large amount of sebum, and excrete lipolytic enzymes, which will erode the sebaceous glands, causing rashes or infections, leading to sebaceous adenitis, blocking hair follicles in the head, making hair follicles lack nutrients, resulting in scalp oil, blocking hair follicles, scalp hair follicles shrinking, causing hair loss.

Mites can only be seen under microscope magnification hundreds of times, and are generally invisible to the naked eye. When the mite reaches adulthood, it has 8 legs, 2 mouths, 2 needles, and a long thorn on its mouth, which is used to suck nutrients from the scalp.

Winter is the period when head mites come back. The most suitable temperature for head mites to breed is 30-33 degrees, which is quite close to the scalp temperature when people sleep in winter. Head mites like dampness and heat, but they are afraid of light, they do not come out during the day, and in the dead of night in winter, they will crawl out to mate on the surface of **, lay eggs, and eat a lot of oil in the hair follicles.

In addition, the frequency of washing people's hair in winter decreases, and the metabolites of hair follicles increase, many people often wear hats, and their hair is covered with more oil, and some people do not wait for their hair to dry out after washing their hair, so they wear hats, which is more suitable for the living environment of mites.

Human hair usually has 8-100,000 hairs, which means 8-100,000 hair follicles, and if there is one mite for every 10 hair follicles, it means that there may be 8,000 mites on the head. If each mite nibbles off a hair every 3 months, tens of thousands of hairs will be lost in a year! That's a staggering number.

Therefore, if the mites are not solved for a day, the problem of hair loss will become more and more serious, and it is scary to think about!

Mites are difficult to remove, like our face and back often have acne, that is, acne, most of them are also because of mites. If you want to get rid of mites, finding out ** can greatly reduce the incidence. For example, do a good job of living environment hygiene, remove clutter in the room, keep the room clean, and pay attention to the ventilation and dryness of bedrooms, beds, bedding, etc.

Strengthen personal protection, take a bath, wash your hair and change clothes frequently, expose bedding and clothes to the sun, pay attention to facial cleanliness, and do not share towels and combs.

1. Judge mites.

1. If your face often feels oily, and it doesn't feel smooth to the touch, and there are red envelopes, rosacea, etc. from time to time, this is the movement of mites under your **.

2. When you get up, it is obvious that your face is oily, and you can wipe the oil out directly with a tissue, don't think that you are oily skin, in fact, this is a mite doing ghosts.

3. Inadvertent itching on the face, especially on both sides of the nose, when the itching is rubbed with bulging and hard packets, it is obvious that mites have begun to cause trouble.

2. Judge blackheads.

Blackheads, also known as blackheads, are open comedones (the top layer of sebum that clogs pores is directly exposed to the outside and comes into contact with the air and dust in the air).

It is caused by the oxidation of ** oil in the air, smelly and black, blackheads are common in adolescents during puberty, and are more likely to occur on the face, chest and back, especially the nose with the most small blackheads, which are characterized by black spots in the pores that are significantly enlarged, and the shape is like a small insect after extrusion, and the tip is black.

Do you feel for yourself, whether there are symptoms or not?

There will be itching sensation on the face at night.

**Gradually roughens and peels.

When you wake up in the morning, use a soft paper and gently wipe the sides of your nose or forehead where there is oil oozing.

The pores gradually become thicker and larger, and the pores around the nose have blackheads that continue to increase.

Acne, pimples are reversed.

The acne on the nose is reversed, the capillary vessels are dilated, and the hypertrophic hypertrophy begins to appear, showing "orange peel" redness and swelling.

Small red bumps on the front chest and back.

If there are both mites.

Hair problems are a big deal, and according to reports, hair problems have seriously endangered people's bodies and minds. Hair loss due to head mites is particularly severe. So today, I will teach you how to judge whether you have head mites.

Before knowing how to tell if you have a head mite, let's take a look at what a head mite is. Magnify the head mite 1000x with a microscope. Its head, thorax, and abdomen are connected together, and there are 4 pairs of legs on top of the abdomen.

Isn't it very good-looking?

Head mites secrete enzymes that block the growth of hair follicles.

The head mite is a tiny animal that parasitizes the scalp, its lifespan is only 15 days, but it has a strong ability to lay eggs and reproduce, and it can be contagious, and the contact between the common comb and the skin of the body can cause the infection of the head mite.

To find out the health of your hair, you can check yourself: grab a lock of hair at the top of your head and touch it with your fingers from the roots to the ends, feeling the thickness and density of your hair. Touch the hair on the back of the head and compare the thickness and density of the hair on the top of the head.

The greater the difference, the greater the hair follicle problem and the more severe the hair loss problem.

According to the results of a study by the Tulane University Medical Center in the United States, the scalp of people with thinning hair has an 88% chance of suffering from head mites. The survey also pointed out that 91% of people who do not have hair loss problems do not have head mites in their hair. This confirms that there is a strong correlation between head mites and hair loss.
