Thinning Hair And Other

IFAS NEWS: Microscopic Mites May Be Linked To Acne, Thinning Hair And Other Skin Disorders UF/IFAS News Release 04.23.2003 It's Enough To Make Your Skin Crawl: Microscopic Mites May Be Linked To Acne, Thinning Hair And Other Skin Disorders By: Chuck Woods (352) 392-1773 x 281 Sources: Jerry Butler (352) 392-1901, ext. 152 Dr. Frank Flowers (352) 265-8001 GAINESVILLE, Fla.--- Youre not alone. Most people have thousands -- probably millions -- of tiny bugs called mites living in their hair and on their skin. And now a University of Florida researcher says the microscopic mites may be linked to thinning hair, acne and other skin conditions. Many people dont like the idea of bugs living in their hair or on their skin, and some get really bent out of shape just thinking about it, said Jerry Butler, a professor of entomology with UFs Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. For some folks, its enough to make your skin crawl. And bathing wont wash them off. Known as the Demodex mite, the bug lives in the hair follicles of 96 percent to 98 percent of all people and feeds on oils, hormones and fluids around the follicle. Butler has counted as many as 25 mites in a single hair follicle. In his UF entomology class, Butler lets students examine oily samples from their own skin pores to learn how well the mites are thriving on their bodies. For most people, the itty-bitty bugs are harmless and live in balance with their human host, he said. Most people and animals have a tolerance for the mites without developing any skin conditions, but high populations can cause problems. When something causes the mites to reproduce at a higher rate, they can break out of the hair follicle and may cause acne, hair loss and other skin conditions, Butler said. In some cases, the interaction with mites causes skin to actually slough off. He said studies have shown the mini-mite is associated with many kinds of skin conditions, but most researchers are reluctant to conclude its a direct cause of those skin conditions. While Demodex may cause certain problems, its also possible certain skin conditions become a breeding ground for mites. Dr. Frank Flowers, a professor of dermatology at UFs Health Science Center, said, There is a tenuous link between Demodex, acne rosacea and folliculitis. However, no skin disease in humans has been conclusively linked with these mites. Flowers said that one of the most effective treatments for these disorders is metronidazole cream. Butler, a veterinary medical entomologist who has studied mites on dogs, said people probably react to large numbers of mites in the same way as our canine friends. Based on my experience with dogs, particularly young animals whose hormone and immune systems are not fully developed, you probably get similar results on people, he said. Populations can explode on dogs, causing mange-like symptoms. The link between mites and hair loss and other skin conditions is not conclusive, but we do know its a major problem for dogs, Butler said. If you have high levels of hormones, youre going to have high levels of mite reproduction because these anthropods obtain their steroids from the host. Butler said Demodex poses the biggest threat to people under stress or those with cancer or other conditions such as HIV/AIDS that suppress the immune system. Mite colonies can spread unchecked because patients cannot produce the antibodies needed to control the parasites. Under normal conditions, mites produce an antigen when they feed in a hair follicle, and then the human body makes antibodies against the bugs, thereby keeping their reproduction low and in balance, Butler said. The mites are actually needed to make the antigen that stimulates the body into making protective antibodies. He said mites feed continuously inside the hair follicle. Three to five days are required for egg laying and hatching, followed by seven days for the larvae to develop into adults. Their total life span is probably several weeks. Theyre transferred from host to host by contact, particularly in hair, eyebrows and tiny sebaceous glands on the nose. If you suspect that mites could be a problem in your hair or on your skin, see a dermatologist promptly, Butler said. Microscopic Demodex mite lives harmlessly in our hair and on our skin, feeding on oils, hormones and oils. For most people, the mites live in balance with their human host, but high populations may be linked to thinning hair, acne and other skin conditions.

No need to tear your hair out. Help is at hand from SurgiCare. As one of the UK's leaders in laser hair removal, SurgiCare has the expertise to remove unwanted hair almost permanently from your upper lip, chin, forearms, underarms, legs, bikini line and back. Why laser hair removal? How does it work? How long does it take? Is it safe? Is laser hair removal permanent? What does it cost? Why laser hair removal? There are only two ways to achieve permanent hair reduction. One is electrolysis which is painful, can leave scars and is only really suitable for small areas as each individual hair must be treated. We believe laser hair removal is a better alternative. Using this method, we are able to treat many hairs at once which makes it all the more suitable for both small and large areas of hair removal. Patients notice only minimal discomfort, and the results are excellent. Back to questions How does it work? The laser uses a beam of light which penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the pigment colour in the hair where it is converted to heat. This heat travels down the hair shaft to the hair root and destroys it so that further hair cannot grow. Because hair has different growth phases and the treatment only works in the active growth phase, several treatments are necessary to achieve a lasting result. The number of treatments needed will depend upon the hair density, colour, skin type and treatment area, together with ethnic background and hormones. Typically 6 or 8 treatments are required in a white skin and maybe 8 or 10 in a darker skin. Many lasers used for hair removal cannot be used in darker skin types as they burn the skin, but SurgiCare use a laser which works in all skin types and colours. As the treatment depends on the laser energy being absorbed by the pigment colour of the hair, it is not possible to treat white, grey, platinum blond or very light shades of hair by laser. Back to questions How long does it take? This depends on the area being treated and ranges from 15 minutes for the upper lip or chin and bikini line, to 45 minutes for the back or the legs. Back to questions Is it safe? As we only use a beam of light to remove the hair, it is a non-invasive procedure which is perfectly safe. The laser settings used are individually chosen for your skin type and hair colour to minimise the risk of any significant skin reaction. This is also helped by the use of a cooled tip on the laser hand piece that protects the skin from thermal injury. Back to questions Is laser hair removal permanent? It is always possible for new hair to grow after any form of hair removal treatment. However, laser treatment is the nearest we can get to achieving excellent long term results. Occasionally it is possible to see the re-growth of small amounts of hair over a period of time, but this is usually weaker and lighter in colour and can be treated again if necessary. Back to questions What does it cost? The cost of laser hair removal depends on how long it takes to carry out the procedure. This, in turn, depends on the surface area being treated. Larger areas like the legs or back are more expensive than the lips or chin. You're welcome to call SurgiCare for details of our prices.
