The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an increase in the frequency of demodicosis and the density of Demodex mites after 20 sessions of phototherapy. The main question(s)it aims to answer are; * Are Demodex mites higher in patients treated with phototherapy? * In which localization and with what intensity was demodicosis most common? Participants will be assessed using standardized skin surface biopsy technique in four localization on their face. Researchers will compare demodex intensity per cm² to see if the phototherapy effects demodex intensity on patients.
