Avatar n tn Bird mites have to be treated with a bug bomb and the bird or rodent nest removed. Pet mites(or walking dandruff) look like tiny white dandruff that moves. This is treated with a strong flea/mite shampoo weekly for 4 weeks plus the carpet/upholstery must be treated with a flea carpet spray weekly for 4 weeks.

Avatar n tn Have a vet do a skin scraping of the bald spots to make sure it's not mange. If it's mange, the mite that causes it will show up on the microscope slide and the appropriate treatment can be instituted. You want to have this done as soon as possible, since some types of mange can be transmitted to humans. Demodectic mange is caused by a mite found in the skin of all dogs. Sometimes the mites begin localized infestations and that's when hair loss results.
Avatar n tn I have always had horrible dandruff(psoriasis) only on my scalp so its hard to tell what is dandruff or if there really could be lice or some other kind of mites crawling up there. How do I tell the difference between scabies, lice, bedbugs, tiny white worms, and dandruff flakes?
548408 tn?1214692039 the bunny could have mange an infestation of fur mites, which can cause a rabbit's skin to become itchy, with white particles like dandruff appearing in its fur. In some cases, the rabbit will lose its fur in areas of heavy infestation. Also called walking dandruff.
Avatar f tn It's advantage multi, he was thinking maybe it was walking dandruff but I went back to the vets again yesterday and we did a skin scraping and it's not mites or walking dandruff. Advantage multi kill many mites so were playing safe. We now have moved on thinking its a fungal infection, it's only making one pup really lose hair the other two have the itch but aren't losing near as much hair.
436973 tn?1217947089 The past couple of days I've noticed my cat has a lot of dandruff. she has had a little flakiness before, but this is quite a bit. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Avatar n tn My daughter rescued a puppy and we believe it has walking dandruff...Me and my daughter are broken out in an itchy rash...Is there a natural treatment that will get rid of this on us?
Avatar n tn and dry skin, and have found they are tiny light orange mites. The orange mites are hard to find as they are buried in loads of skin flakes, but after spraying myself and my dog with topical ivermectin (intended for cattle and sheep), you will find them. The ivermectin causes them to move which you can definately feel as it basically makes them unable to stop moving and thus eventually die. They eat keratin, which is in skin, hair and nails.
Avatar m tn I have been to the doctor at least 3 times, at first the doctor gave me medication for mites and lice but that wasn't the problem. I have had blood work done and he can't find anything wrong. What i am experiencing now is white stuff coming out of the pores on my face and when I pull out a hair the bulb is black or dark and the hair near the bulb is very weak and flexible.
1608004 tn?1390770990 I noticed yesterday she seems to be having a bad case of the flakes. she has a lot of dandruff in her hair. she only eats grain free food (both wet and dry) should I be giving her something to counteract this dandruff? maybe some sardines or olive oil or something. thank you!
Avatar f tn I know for real, how crazy is that! I have an insane amount of chronic pain, so it's just another ridiculous symptom. Do you guys have any other health things it could be related to? Mastaud, you said cancer. Mickeyrae, any ideas? I'm allergic to dust mites, so with all my dry skin coming off, who knows, maybe it's attracting dust mites. I also have psoriasis, basically really bad dandruff. They shouldn't related, but who knows.
Avatar m tn He will either offer you the medicated shampoo for lice, or make another suggestion. You might have him wash his beard with Listerine; my mother-in-law did that for dry scalp and dandruff and it is a refreshing rinse that will not hurt him. If neither of these work, consult a physician or dermatologist; he could have a skin condition and need to shave to be able to treat it adequately. Consult a professional if it continues.
Avatar n tn t seem to have made much of a dent in the dandruff. Like I said, the dandruff is minimal on some days and heavier on other days with seemingly no rhyme or reason. I've tried adding some olive oil to his food, and even rubbing some on him because I read it might help, but really when I massaged some olive oil into his skin it almost seemed to make the dandruff worse. What do you all think? I have read they sell dog balm and dog moisturizers, which I'd never even heard of before.
Avatar n tn In a previous thread you mentioned flakes on your face, Facial dandruff is a symptom. The problem really is why are the mites out of control. Sometimes an autoimmune disorder is the root cause. There are many autoimmune disorders. Some serious, some not so serious and treatable. Large amounts can cause these symptoms. Normal amounts would normally not be noticed. There are treatments for this if you do some research and contact your Dermatologist. Most treatments need a prescription.
Avatar n tn My dog has sore and scabs and dandruff flaking and has a weird smell. My vet says it's from fleas, but I think there is more going on??
Avatar m tn the first place i noticed anything was line on my arm looking like a scratch mark, then i noticed a few raised bumps on my hand and now they are everywhere except for my face. have dandruff but not the same thing as on body. have been to the doctor and he doesnt know what it is as well. I am on prednizone and have tried an ointment for scvabies mites, but the bumps are still there. they are very red after a shower and get really dry after one as well.
Avatar m tn in her ear while at the same time loosing hair. My vet told me that she had mites and we need to increase the dose of worm medicine from one to two tablets (i.e Endolav 200mg). This did not work so we went to the pharmacist and they give me ivomec and I was told to give her 1ml every 7 days. I was also given a mix of sulphur and oil to rub on her. This worked for about a month and then she was in the same plight again.
6824259 tn?1385136354 Not all blepheritis is caused by mites! Some can be caused by other things such as rosacea, danderuff, dry eyes, and secondary to this is you can get a staph infection where you would need an antibiotic. Just because your eyes are red and sore doesn't mean you need an antibiotic. But yours sounds like you might need it to start with and to see if it is caused by a mite, or something else because the treatment can be slightly different.
Avatar m tn So I have had an Itchy head for a while now but when I use dandruff shampoo it makes the itching stop. However today makes the second time where I have been on my phone and a little bug came from either my body or my hair (I believe it came from my hair) and fell onto the screen of my phone. That was the only way that I was even able to see the little bug. It's white/Clear and about the size of the tip of a needle.
Avatar n tn I tried anti dandruff shampoo it helps a little but everytime I washed my hair next thing I know my scalp itch again. I tried different shampoo before this anti dandruff shampoo. The skin doctor prescripted a medicated shampoo but I still itch. I think the medicated shampoo is strong too. So now I scatch my face and my scalp. It is very annoying and it is not people friendly. Who wants to look at me scatching. I dont know why this is happening to me. I definetly have red and rash on my face.

683609 tn?1226764977 I checked him carefully for fleas, dandruff, rashes, ear mites and anything else I could think of but I don't see anything that could cause this... I am not working at the moment and I cant afford to go to the vet but I will if I really have no other choice, does anyone have any ideas?
1786778 tn?1314987818 t seen any dandruff on her, but my other cat has dandruff. So could it just be the air is dry? This is our first winter/spring in this apartment and this is the first time she started to do this. Is it possible for her to get an allergy from the food that she has been eating for a while now?
Avatar m tn About 2 months ago I noticed the skin under my nose, where I shave, is very dry and it flakes up like dandruff. The area is only where I shave on my top lip and only affects the area where I shave. I dont shave off my mustache. Lately the dry area has been spreading to the edge of my lip. The area gets real dry, the skin hardens and it became darker than the rest of my shadow on my face. I can natuarlly get darker in the summer due to my puerto rican/south american descent.
Avatar n tn My scalp is so dry that i have insane amount of dandruff and my car which has a black interior looks more like a grey interior because my dandruff has accumulated so much. its gross. my groin area currently is rather itchy at times but i try to take breaks from the steroids for a few weeks and when it gets out of hand, i resort to them and they seem to work for a while but then the cycle continues. my next step in this is to try an allergist. not a dermatologist.
