Can dust mites cause a skin rash?Updated 7 months ago

Exposure to dust mites can lead to the development of an allergic reaction and cause symptoms such as skin rash for people who are sensitive to them. 

According to the Mayo Clinic, a skin rash caused by dust mites is a type of allergic reaction that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to proteins found in the mites' feces and body parts. Symptoms of a dust mite allergy can include red, bumpy, and itchy skin, hives, and swelling.
