Yes, certain types of mites can burrow into the skin. One well-known example is the human scabies mite (Sarcoptes scabiei), which causes scabies by tunneling into the outer layer of the skin, leading to intense itching and irritation. Other mites, like some species of demodex, live in hair follicles and sebaceous glands but do not burrow in the same manner as scabies mites.
