Our scalp, face and oily area of our head have many
sebaceous gland that may be found in biopsy sections.
We have demodex mites commonly found in our
follicles. Not to worry. They are normally of no consequence. People with oily skin and scalp can
benefit from using dandruff shampoos and cleansers with zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, or salicylic acid.
Topical medications for rosacea all help keep our
sebum and sebum loving mites at normal.

Are the topical medications you refer to OTC products or must doctor prescribe them? Can you suggest one.
