Synopsis: 
There is no comparative study in the literature regarding Demodex folliculorum prevalence in rosacea (RSC) and seborrhoeic dermatitis (SD) using standardized skin surface biopsy. Our study showed that D folliculorum prevalance in RSC was three times higher than SD, and D folliculorum may play a more important role in the aetiopathogenesis of RSC than SD.
