This is a case report of Demodex folliculorum of the forehead, scalp, and face of a 64-year-old male farmer from Sudan presenting with pruritic papular and erythematous skin lesions for 6-months. Demodex infestation of the hair follicles is precipitated by poor self-hygiene and accumulation of excess sebum and skin debris.
