“…We want to thank the authors for their exciting observation leading to future debates about the role of Demodex folliculorum (DF) in rosacea and the control of its proliferation. 1 A classic and pertinent dilemma is related to the fact that vascular changes and inflammation constitute a perfect medium for DF to multiply or already multiplied DF represents a starter for inflammatory and/or vascular changes in rosacea or rosaceiform conditions. areas."…”

“…In addition to the concept that the possible mechanisms of application of lasers to induce coagulation necrosis of Demodex mites and that the mite may contain some chromophores which make it more sensitive, 1 we want to add the possible implications of endosymbionts of DF, which may act directly or not as chromophore releasers and also the possible role of other organisms from the pilosebaceous unit such as Cutibacterium acnes , Pityrosporum ovale , or Demodex brevis (DB). The efficiency of the laser treatments on DB was not assessed, but due to its deeper position in the pilosebaceous unit, it may not be influenced by the laser treatment 6 …”
