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.

[@TheBudgetDermatologist]

Thanks so much for watching! If not clearing up, see a dermatologist! Good luck :)

[@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.

[@desiree2desire]

@itsjustrawan8868 No, I believe it was every 3 days at first. I used it as shampoo and would take it down onto my forehead as well. Then, wait about 4 or 5 mins before you rinse. It will dry your skin put, so make sure to moisturize

[@Sidera17]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I became immunodeficient 10 years ago and almost immediately developed these symptoms on my face, scalp, neck, and upper back/arms. It was just diagnosed as regular seborrheic dermatitis and nobody knew what the acne part was. I kept trying different soaps and cleansers but only zinc pyrithione or sulfur helped. Having this yeast on my face also makes my skin constantly inflamed from an autoimmune reaction so it looks like I went skiing. I kept thinking it had something to do with fungus but was not sure. Now I have a name and some treatment options. Thank you so much for this! This made my day. Subscribed!!! ❤❤

[@RishaBond]

Pretty sure this video just changed my life. I've struggled so much with my skin and scalp issues for 25 years. I've gone to doctors, including dermatologists, and not been properly diagnosed -- and have all of the symptoms and potential causes per this video. Thank you for being so informative.

@@jumpinggakflash2313 I used to think that going to the beach and sweating itself breaks me out. Now I know that it was the tanning oil that I’d put on my body and face - now thinking about it makes me cringe, but I knew nothing about the fungal acne. 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.

[@dave_by_day7632]

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

She told him that when I was 2 I started having dermathitis and we even went to the doctor. I've hated those bumps for sooooo long, that I even tried popping them and that's why I've had several really bad breakouts with cysts (not even pimples) that hurt really bad and I always picked on them and it irritated me so bad,that my face is very much in pain these days...

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. These fruits work. I’m shocked at how well the watermelon (with seeds) helps, but it does. You’ll pee a lot too cuz it gets your kidneys going. lol

[@sadiajafrinn]

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. I'm in a literal torture just because I've a skin condition, I'm literally crying as I'm typing this.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

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. This is why I like Traditional Chinese Medicine, they go in depth with your whole body, and whole health, including mental.

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 😘

[@NateandMary]

Thank you for all you expert advice!!

[@anastasiahayuf2259]

Ive been suffering with this fungal acne im ashamed going out with this bundle of fungal acne specially in my fore head thanks for this video

[@luischavez7249]

Thank you for your great information i appreciated alot!! Can you please recommend us a moisturizer please im scared to follow this process and ruin it choosing wrong moisturizer

[@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 😊

[@jopiearanda6606]

Good day! thank you for your videos, may I ask, how would I know if my fungal acne is healing?

[@messageinthebottle1673]

For many years I thought the acne ms that I have are regular acne but once I realize they're fungal not the bacteria or "hormones" acne that other say, it starts to make sense. I'm going to start buying anti-fungal acne to finally get rid of it.

[@Hunee-]

OMG!!! My 7 year old has been having breakouts since he was 4 years old. He is way too young and the description you provided is exactly what it looks like. It appears in his forehead, hairline, and chin. I am really going to look into this.

[@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

Did head and shoulders shampoo work for you?

Best video I’ve ever watched on this subject soo far

[@brittanyscott1976]

It all makes sense now, I stopped using my dandruff shampoo and all the sudden had terrible acne 🙃 thanks for clearing that up for me.

[@AP-gg7ep]

Same. So what ended up helping?

[@linhle777]

This is such a good video i tried the wash for dandruff and it healed instantly youre really good nearby my city there are a series of fake dermatologists that stole doctors licenses to practice so it is very scary to go get treated by them. They actually have a chain too!

[@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 ??

Great video. I wish i knew in what order to use some of these products

[@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

[@beem1874]

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.

[@jkennethjames4601]

been wondering this for so long. my skin is simultaneously the best its ever been in regards to acne and the worst its ever been in regards to these little uneven bumps on my face that i cant seem to get rid off. so this might just have come in clutch, thanks a lot.

[@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!

[@lilbunny.03]

Ahh, thanks ya so much. I really needed this kinda video. Near my residence, here's no good dermatologist. So this gonna help me 🥰 I love youuuu 🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜💜

[@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!

[@barbieblue3336]

The problem with acne free, some of the products have lemon etc oil. I avoid those. Great video

[@llefurge1]

I found your video very informative, my general practitioner prescribed antibiotics for my odd forehead acne and after a 10 day regiment saw no improvement. Feeling optimistic that I can clear it up with the approach you recommended. Thank you!

[@frenchpandesal]

Omg.. been going to dermatologist because I had great skin and all of a sudden had these tiny bumps on my forehead (not itchy tho)!!! No one said anything about this.. thank you!!! ❤

[@jtrover]

The Nizoral that I bought at Walmart was 2%. I'm going to give this try. I've had this type of acne for decades.

[@harrywestworth3558]

did it work

[@jtrover]

@@harrywestworth3558 No, it apparently wasn't my problem. I ended up taking tretinoin and that cleared it up.

[@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

[@kapturedbykeilani1049]

Thank you 😫😫♥️ ordered these products before the video ended.

[@Shimco]

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.

[@abdellahelmansori4446]

Hey! Can you please tell me if things got better for you after all this time? Did it completely go away? If so what did you use to fade away the hyper pigmentation? Many thanks in advance for your answer

[@Shimco]

@@abdellahelmansori4446 Hi. I'm sorry to say this but the same exact spot I thought was healing did not heal. It came back full force after getting better for a short time. 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.

[@Пончикот-я1ч]

Every time having holidays in hot and damp countries as Thai, I had this skin and after coming back home it was gone. Now I moved to UAE, the day I had a flight to UAE my skin was almost perfect, my forehead clean and even, but after a couple of days in UAE my forehead was all with fungal, it got on my back and chest also. I thought it was stress, humidity, hormones or even allergy (new food, more fruit), but now I know it is fungal. Thanks for these tips!

[@barbararivera5917]

Could you do a video about seborrheic dermatitis? I get some texture, redness, sensitivity and sometimes peeling specific to the brow/forehead area

[@bethbanfill6049]

I get it in my brow plucking area

[@jacquelinej4819]

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. 🙏

[@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!

[@MrJojomylove]

I subscribed because of this video. I love your soft tone and way you speak. You are interesting and easily understood without being too slow. I wish I had more teacher like you, I probably would of paid more attention. 😂

[@marcy07067]

I just discovered you, fantastic explanation!

[@jamielee8020]

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..

[@jim-fq6fv]

What moisturizer would you recommend during this process?

[@alexiiiiii_10]

I was just studying mycology for my quiz tomorrow and I just read about the same fungi. It didn't even occur to me that acne could also be caused by fungal, very helpful.

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

[@zeebaza2329]

So glad I came across this video! I've been on antibiotics for about a week and this morning I noticed sudden, small, red acne spots on my upper chest. I hadn't even considered yeast as a possible cause. I'll definitely try one of the shampoos, or the bar!

[@chxrryxbxmb]

antibiotics always flare my fungal acne terribly because they upset the yeast balance in your body. If you tell your doctor that you have fungal acne they can prescribe an oral antifungal to take with the antibiotics to help this . (Diflucan is a common one). Hope this helps!
