It predominantly affects women. Demodicosis is an inflammatory disease associated with cutaneous overpopulation of the mite Demodex spp., the pathogenesis of which is not completely established, but is frequently related to local immunodeficiency. A case of a young woman with amicrobial pustulosis of the folds, and isolated worsening of facial lesions, is reported; investigation revealed overlapping demodicosis. There was complete regression of lesions with acaricide and cyclin treatment. This case warns of a poorly diagnosed but disfiguring and stigmatizing disease, often associated with underlying dermatoses or inadvertent treatments on the face.566-569engAutoimmune diseasesImmunocompromised hostImmunosuppressionLupus erythematosus, systemicMite infestationsArtigo10.1590/abd1806-4841.20187171S0365-05962018000400013WOS:000440159700013Acesso abertoS0365-05962018000400013.pdf
