Özet

Background: The most common types of skin cancers include basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), which are grouped as non-melanoma skin cancers. Actinic keratosis (AK) is a precancerous lesion that may develop into SCC. The pilosebaceous follicle mites, Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, inhabit most commonly and densely certain facial skin areas where BCC and SCC also develops most frequently.
