If it was mites, they would itch.At least mine did!! It's probably sebaceous buildup or something. I had skin mites and trust me, you'd know. It's like something is crawling on you and it drives you insane. If you still think it's mites try an herbal skin treatment that has natural parasiticides that won't hurt your skin. I used Mite Avenge. It's a dog product but it worked wonders for me. Good luck!
