Can mites cause skin itching?

Mites can cause skin itching. Mites are tiny parasites that primarily infest items such as mattresses and pillow cores. After coming into contact with human skin, they can damage the skin barrier and cause localized itching. Especially at night, the itching may become more pronounced. In addition, mite bites can lead to skin symptoms such as redness, papules, and wheals, and in severe cases, may even cause mite-induced dermatitis. To prevent skin itching caused by mites, it is recommended to maintain a clean and hygienic home environment, regularly clean and sun-dry items such as mattresses and pillow cores, and reduce the presence of mites. If skin itching caused by mites has already occurred, timely medical consultation is advised, and treatment should be conducted under a doctor's guidance.
