Most mites are not terribly interested in biting humans and would much prefer to snack on a dead bird or a juicy plant. If, however, some pesky mites do get into your house, getting rid of the little pests might be difficult, but treating their tiny bites is fairly easy. Follow these steps.
1) Spread an anti-itch cream over the bitten area.
2) Do not scratch the bitten area. Scratching will only cause more pain, and
might even cause a skin infection, which could need medical treatment.
3) Visit your doctor if the bites don't clear within a week. If they persist, they
could be a rash or other skin irritation.
4) Look into treatments to rid your house of the mites. This will typically
involve getting rid of the pests that mites live on.
Pesticides will kill the mites, but they won't fix your problem unless you use them in conjunction with rodent or bird control.

∙ 14y agoThat depends on what kind of mites your dog has, but typically removing mites requires an injection (sometimes a series of them) by your Vet. Some mites which dogs get can also be transmitted to humans, so check with your doctor, too.

∙ 13y agoFirst thing is to take your dog into be checked out by your Veterinarian to see what type of mite the dog has, if any. Have you done that yet? A lot of folks just automatically think their dogs have mites when they are scratching. They could also have fleas. So get a correct diagnosis first. There are 2 different types of mites, Demodetic mange mite and Sarcoptic mange mite. Both are treated entirely differently. The demodetic mite is on almost all dogs but their immune system keeps them under control. We even have them, have your Doctor do a skin scraping under your eyelids and see what is there under a microscope :0). When a dog's immune system is run down and he or she is ill, then out come the demodetic mites (demodex). The newest thing is to use is injections of ivermectin but that is up to a Veterinarian to determine the best treatment and dosage. With sarcoptic mange it is easy to cure. Just give them special medicated shampoos and dips and that will take care of that. They are usually found on a dirty dog that has been neglected. People can get sarcoptic mange too.

What causes skin problems for dogs?
One major cause of skin problems in dogs is systemic allergies, which can be to anything from fleas or ticks to foods like chicken or soybeans to environmental items like pollen or dust mites. Another possibility is ectoparasites such as mites or lice; these are less common with the introduction of ivermectin which has reduced the prevalence of these parasites in developed countries. A major problem in domestic dogs in Western countries is Demodex mange, another ectoparasite. A third possibility is skin infection, which in dogs tends to be bacterial and secondary to another problem.
