Feline demodicosis, caused by Demodex cati, may be associated with immunosuppression, as from FeLV infection or diabetes mellitus. Clinical signs include nonpruritic alopecia, scaling, erythema and hyperpigmentation in the facial region. Local topical application of 2.5% lime sulfur solution every 10 days is usually curative in a few weeks or months.
