Do YOU have Fungal Acne? | Dermatologist Talks Symptoms and Treatments!

[@divinecj]

I had clear skin growing up even during puberty but all of a sudden I had this, i've been very consistent with my skin care routine. I thought they're just normal acne but it won't clear up, thank you so much for this. Really great help. I hope it will clear up soon.

[@divinecj]

Hey guys. I've been using nizoral shampoo for almost 2 weeks now. I let it sit for 3-5 mins before rinsing then before i sleep i put some soothing gel. It is working and only few are left on my skin. I stopped my skin care routine for now to focus on my acne, but i make sure to wash my face before i sleep. I've been working out and trying to loose weight it is very humid in my country, i guess that's why they popped up on my skin. I hope yours clears up soon too.

[@IM-uh5tk]

[@lax0rd1e]

Symptoms that you might have anti fungal: -small appearing bumps (look the same) most common on back, chest, forehead, hairline, chin clusters -antibiotic causes more yeast -Oily skin because yeast loves oil -stubborn acne that won’t go away even with consistency -Sweating a lot -immunocompromised people How to treat: -Anti-fungal shampoo (free and clear dandruff shampoo) - equate dandruff shampoo -Nizoral dandruff shampoo (as a cleanser) Apply it for a few minutes before rinsing. -Z-bar vanicream -Sulfur products (also helps with oily skin) Bar cleanser, proseca leave in cream, mask. BRANDS -Aulfur Azufre -Sal 3 (daily or a few times per week. Or a sulfur mask by acne free) Any cleansers that help with reducing oil. And that’s all folks.

I’m using (copy pasting the name as I can’t upload a photo) La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Dry Touch Gel-Cream SPF50+ Protection for Oily Skin 50ml, and my face is protected and have ZERO breakouts.

I wish more dermatologists and companies knew about fungal acne like this. Mine was diagnosed as regular acne for the past 10 years and some gave me antibiotics which just made it worse. Free & clear anti-dandruff works best for me since I'm allergic to fragrances. It gets rid of 90-95% of my problem but I have to use it as a body wash too and it's very drying. Very few fungal acne safe moisturizers exist that are also fragrance free. I really hope better fungal acne products will be made in the future.

[@1livelaxlove]

I agree!! Ugh so frustrating honestly because I feel like I waste soo much money on products that could easily make it worse

For anything cystic, eating a large bowl of watermelon daily will help w drainage. 👍 Dark grapes, melons and citrus are great. Cysts usually come from a clog in the lymphatic drainage pathway.

Ikr, when your family treats you in a certain way just cause you have a skin condition that affects your appearance, it really sucks. My mom scolds me to wash my face, drink water & sleep to get rid of it. I understand it can help my skin to a certain extent but it will NOT clear up my 6 years of acne fully! I don't even wanna live in our home, I can't even get out of my room, when we have dinner together in the table, they all look at my skin in a certain way that makes me so uncomfprtable, just like today I sensed all of them looking at my skin, but I kept eating, then my mum started laughing, I asked why, she said "How many pimples you have in your face! Just look at your face hahaha" I started to have watery eyes, then my brother told "stop telling her these, she's bout to cry" then I couldn't hold onto it anymore I started crying, then again she scolded me because I shouldn't cry.

That's one of the issues that comes with the basic model of medicine. It's very good if you've got a clear cause of the illness, but if it crosses the lines between specialties, it can be a real problem. It gets even worse with psychosomatic disorders, as in ones that have a brain component and a body component as hardly anybody knows how to deal with it. If you're lucky the doctor will mention it, but I had no idea that that's why I've got tinnitus. Nobody bothered to mention that it's psychosomatic because the nerves are getting triggered without cause and gave me a way of dealing with it.

[@shaspearman8647]

They dont. I was surprised when my doctor whipped out her phone to google a question I had 😑 I also have a friend who is a medical doctor, she truly is no different than me. I teach her stuff about the body all the time. I say most doctors are just really good at studying and parroting information, most of them are not skilled at figuring out whats going on, they are stabbing in the dark.

Hey y'all!!! Read this. I have had acne that has lasted for years (same "bump" or patch). There's cysts in it that I tweeze out because they hurt so bad. But once I pull them out the pain stops. I am 40. This started in my late 20s. Always on my chin and then about 7 years ago they started on my forehead near the hairline. Now, I've literally tried everything from cleansing to clay, and creams, oils, steroids, ZapZit, crushed antibiotics, penicillin from TSC, wormer that I used for the horses all the way to their lice treatment thinking it could be a parasite. Yes, I've tried leaving it alone but it forms this crust that gets thick and I peel that off after a few weeks and there's NO healing. When the bumps do decide to give up, usually after about 3 years, they just go away and leave really easy to extract tiny cyst. Then a whole new cluster comes back up within 2 inches of the last cluster. It's been flusterating to say the least. Considering I'm 40 and didn't have a problem with acne when I was a teen. So all that said, I put on some athlete's foot cream 2 nights ago and holy wow!!! They are healing.... Finally!!!! I have applied it a few times in the two days. This video was a Godsend for me! Thank you to the doctor that posted it. This will literally change my life and how I can walk through it confidently now.

It never went away.And to top it all off, it's still there. It still has a scab on it that doesn't want to go away. It still has cysts in it. I haven't touched it for weeks and that does help with the inflammation of course. I use differin gel on it every night and wash it daily. But it still lingers. I get other bumps sometimes that are gone in a week with the same treatment. This one has been there for YEARS!!! I'd say about 4 years. Differin does help more than most products and it is excellent for regular bumps. But this one won't go away it just kinda chills for a while then flairs back up. Best of luck to you with your blemishes, unfortunately I haven't found a solid cure:(. Also, I've never had a single one of these bumps leave a scar ironically. But I would use the spray tan from Sally Hansen and spray it on something then dab it on the spot and blend. The color will eventually even out. You can't even see where the old ones were.

[@goatplague344]

O M G. This is the thing that's been pestering my face and back and arms SINCE ALWAYS (well. since i hit puberty). I used to use salicylic acid skincare products but they were dehydrating my face in a long term basis and then the skin was getting more oily, and... you can imagine how that was going for me. I kinda gave up and bought some products for rosacea since that's my issue too and... it really does help for those stubborn gremlins inhabiting my skin! I'm gonna try out some sulfur cosmetics as well - never gave them a shot before, so I'll see how these stand in the battle agains the tiny army of evil bumps. Thank you! Subscribed on spot!

[@dareiwassa5971]

I've had the same patch of "acne" on the right side of my jaw for 3 years consistently and I can't believe I spent so much money on skin care products when I could of just did a little more research. Now my face is scarred

[@rand0312]

Did head and shoulders shampoo work for you?

[@lisasmith767]

This is great information! I have struggled off and on with acne since the late 80s. I’m 52 now and between you and my own dermatologist, I’m hoping I found the answer. Thanks 😘

[@hahahahaha8033]

This is literally the best video for informations about fungal acne for me. I’m from Thailand. It’s so hot and humid here and Ive got fungal acne on my back for so many years. It ruins my confidence. Thank god you made this

[@Claire-mw4nz]

ok so i know this video was made awhile ago but i’ve had fungal acne for probably two years now, it just spread over my forehead and i was getting so tired of it, i got all these little comments at school about it and i just stopped looking in the mirror because it made me feel bad about myself and was definitely my biggest insecurity. i’ve started using Benzoyl peroxide 5% and i have no words. i’ve only been using it for A WEEK and my face is already smoothing out and getting so much better ❤️ i don’t know if this works for everyone but it’s definitely worked for me. i was able to just get it at my drugstore but i think at some places it either needs to be prescribed or you have to ask. It does have some pretty big side affects as well especially if your skins sensitive but i totally recommend checking it out. I’m also not saying this will work for everyone it’s just my story :)

[@priscillanotpresley]

Omg I just started treating it, I had no idea what it was and it got BAD! My forehead is peeling! I’m going to start using my acne cleanser and lotion that has this to see if it helps with the cream my dermatologist prescribed. Thanks 🤞

[@eversolediane3248]

I just discovered you, fantastic explanation!

[@riddhivasaikar1925]

There's definitely a reason to why I came across this video on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJzVgXqDgNJ_hZI of Jyovis Ayurveda and I was very happy to see the results for various skin infections. I even followed few of the tips explained and it actually worked. Then I finally decided to contact on ......([phone]) to cure my skin infection from the root cause. The team really helped me a lot. Thank you Jyovis!

Doc you actually massively improved my life.

[@jumpinggakflash2313]

I have been fighting this yeast on my scalp for years. For some reason, when I dye my hair I get more relief for longer than I do with prescription ketoconazole shampoo. I think the developer may kill the yeast. Just a weird tip for anyone else who is struggling with it. Also, change your pillowcases daily when you’re dealing with this!

[@lo6225]

Same here. I dye my hair to get relief.

[@jumpinggakflash2313]

@Ilia Ros It is weird! It’s just something that I noticed. I asked my doctor about it and she didn’t know, but said if it helps it’s not harmful- unless I start having hair loss or allergic reactions to the he hair dye, of course. Lol

[@Yeonbin]

i noticed too my forehead doesnt get oily that much after i bleached and dyed the front part of my hair probably bc bleach strips the hair of all moisture so that part of my scalp doesnt produce too much oil which can travel to ur forehead and cause u to get pimples

[@The_King_Family-o7q]

I had horrible flakes on my scalp. I sprayed a diluted form of Apple Cider Vinegar on my scalp, mainly before I got in the shower. My scalp cleared up immediately and I haven’t been dealing with flakes since.

[@bryanr.5029]

Yeah same, I guess the developer somehow kills the yeast by reacting to the scalp.

[@rinkumiah]

I’ve been suffering from dandruff and fungus on my skin. I found shampoos containing ketoconazole 1 or 2% to help me. You can buy from Amazon. Hope it helps some of you!

[@jojoabellar2536]

You speak very clearly Doc and is very knowledgeable and convincing. I have been experiencing this fungal acne and I'm thankful YT recommended your channel to me. I also live in a tropical country so we usually get this acne. Thanks a lot 😊

[@dawn-from-the-lab]

You’re the first dr I’ve heard talk about MC and MI without me mentioning it first. My twins had “cradle cap” until they were almost 3 when I discovered those are known to cause problems in humans. I removed all products containing them and within a few days, their scalps were clear.

[@TheGraumannLOG]

Thank you for this posting. Never had bad achene as a teen and 20-39 year old. Took a trip to Honduras a few years ago and after sweating during hot parts of the day, noticed what looked like little whiteheads on my forehead, upper back & chest. Every so often this re-occurs when working in heat and sweating, especially on my forehead when wearing a hat. I am excited to try some of the products you have mentioned here to see if this creates some relief.

[@irtikafarooq328]

Does that worked

Where did you buy the sulfur salicylic soap?..

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Thank you! I have had this before, I think, mildly on my forehead. And thanks for letting me know about the dandruff shampoo. I have never found shampoo that works. What works for me is washing often enough and good enough but not too much, exfoliating scalp, Sulfate free shampoos, diluted ACV rinses, Jamaican Black Castor oil, and other oils that don’t clog my pores too bad, avoid coconut oil

[@RachelHubbell]

This was really interesting! I do have very oily skin, and have had tiny bumps across my forehead and down to my jaw by the hairline for a very long time. I figured it was just texture/tiny acne bumps, but given what you explained in this video I think I'll try treating it as "fungal acne" for a while and see if that does anything for it. Thanks for such a straightforward and informative video!

[@anastasiahayuf2259]

[@stunningscenario5606]

Thank you so much for this information. I was baffled by the sudden onset of a rash on my forehead after twenty years without a trace of acne.

[@inlineadam]

Pretty amazing that no internal treatments related to diet and yeast were mentioned in this video.

[@jakeroege]

It's so true! I had stubborn acne that wouldn't clear and after rounds of oral antibiotics (through my derm) on a whim I researched products safe for fungal acne (simple skincare science blog) and like magic my skin became clearer and more manageable. I find benzoyl peroxide is also helpful keeping both types of "acne" at Bay. Thank you so much for your suggestions too!

[@hadjarcassiopeia9682]

I have it on my upper back, chest, shoulder and face... the jackpot. I use honey and propolis-based skincare product because honey has antifungal properties.

can you recommend the honey and propolis that you use for your fungal acne

[@happysolitude2422]

I could cry. I've been struggling with this for 10 years. First diagnoses was scabies and i was treated for 3 years with everything from ointments and creams to ivermectin. Then a dermatologist said it was regular acne with an autoimmune reaction and I've been on a steroid ointment for over 5 years. I have the Paula's Choice treatment and am going to try it now!!!

[@lorijhaneubal3537]

I have been struggling to similar looking bumps on my forehead for 3 months now which is new to me since I have never experience in the past. Finally! I know what to do now. Many thanks Doc!

[@evieball4162]

I just recently discovered you and subscribed to you yesterday. Today, this video came up and I believe it describes perfectly what I've been experiencing on my very upper back/shoulder area. This is about the third time I've had this outbreak and for me, it seems to come when I've been overly stressed out. I've been using an over-the-counter fungal medication and will now try your soap recommendation. Thank you so much for your very sound wisdom! xo

[@shannilovely]

I had to take antibiotics not too long ago, and I’ve developed painful spots on the left side of my face. I’m going to try your method!

[@abdellahelmansori4446]

@shannilovely I have the exact same problem. Could you please tell me of things got better for you? If so what did you use and how long did the hyper pigmentation take to fade away?

[@SouthernDrawlDoll02]

Such great info . I was on 2 strong antibiotics 3 weeks ago. Out of the blue , 3 days ago my skin broke out on my cheeks and chin with 30+ of these fungal acne pustules . Forhead is clear as a bell, but cheeks and chin are awful. It is absolutely disheartening . This has happened to me twice before in my life after being on strong antibiotics . I’m starting to clear it now with antifungals but it’s so frustrating . It will take weeks . My skin was doing amazing before this set back :(

[@self_lovecare]

Anti fungal oral ??

[@puapucuve6643]

I've noticed that refined sugar/carbs will increase my folliculitis because every time I cut back on it, my flare-ups stop occurring. Yeast thrives on sugar.

can i still have fungal acne without itching? My skin can be oily and gross and i’ve tried so many acne products. They always get rid of the actual pimples but not the small ones..

I got this between my breasts while breastfeeding my kids. Could not get my doctor to take it seriously and didn’t have good insurance ( specialist where barely covered) so didn’t go to a dermatologist. Tried to figure out what it was and how to treat it on my own. I managed to clear it with the Z Bar. If This video had been around it would have been a godsend. Thank you for making it now. 🙏

I read a lot of research and did a ingredients check on the Paula’s choice bha 2% toner and it says it is not fungal acne safe.. There’s alot of people saying it’s not for fungal acne too and it will make it worst.. T_T I did my research everyday and literally you’re the only one who says it’s fungal acne safe and can treat fungal acne. The Paula choice bha is extremely exspensive in my country literally 3 - 4 times than the Cosrx power liquid (fungal acne safe) but I want to get a product that will truly help solve my problem without wasting product and money.. I tried too many products that do not work..

Try mashing and chopping two garlic cloves and a teaspoon of pure powdered turmeric everyday. swallowing it on an empty stomach with a glass of lemon water each morning. I am presently battling this condition and it's slowly clearing up.. The problem is doctors prescribe antibiotics for everything these days. Antibiotics makes internal fungus grow and get out of control. You might need a strong oral antifungal prescription.

[@TheCatalana25]

Take probiotics (50 billion), eat unpasteurized sauerkraut/kefir/kimchi/kombucha - its all about a healthy gut, antibiotics kill good bacteria in there. Take zinc supplements. No sugar, bread. Diary is very bad for skin too :(

[@IamJesusWalks]

Okay. I've started getting them a lot, then it got dramatically worse for a minute. I realized I changed my skin-regiment, and added Avon Vitamin C Serum. I initially thought it was doing wonders until I saw a trail of pimples. Then I stopped the Serum. I had also adopted Paula's Choice too. I didn't know which was doing what, so I stopped them both. Now after watching this, I'm realizing that I use nothing but face oils! Almond Oil, Sunflower Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Castor Oil, Carrot Seed Oil, Tumeric Oil, Cucumber Seed Oil, Vitamin E Oil. The list goes on. I keep saying the texture on my face was much better when I was just using regular Face Moisturizer. So about to go back to that! Thank you!
