Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Demodex spp. in college students, mostly adolescent individuals. Methods: A questionnaire including questions about the risk factors of Demodex spp. was administered to college students. Samples were taken with Standard Superficial Skin Biopsy method and examined under light microscope. Results: Presence of Demodex spp. was detected in 160 (42.7%) students out of 375 totally; 126 out of 291 nursing students (43.3%) and 34 out of 84 midwifery students (40.5%). It was detected in 47.3% of males and 40.2% of females. There was a statistically significant difference in terms of the prevalence of Demodex spp. between those who used foundation cream/make-up products and those who did not, and between those who removed hair and those who did not (p
