Comedonal acne & fungal acne are commonly mistaken for each other!

[danielle]

my fungal acne was rarely itchy and all skin colored bumps beneath the skin (all papules - no pustules). these bumps didn't budge for years despite every traditional bacterial acne treatment you can think of (i tried them all and even went to the dermatologist for prescription strength stuff - had no effect). I finally realized it could be fungal and started putting every anti-fungal product on my face that I could purchase (yeast infection cream and ointment, athlete's food cream, jock itch powder spray, and anti-dandruff shampoo as a cleanser and mask). It's been only a week of using these products and almost all of the bumps are gone. my fungal acne looked a lot like the comedonal acne in this video but it was fungal.

Salacylic acid also works great for fungal acne and sebhorric dermatitis.

I have recently discovered that it largely related to diet. Eat low glycemic index diet, No artificial sugar at all and simplify skincare routine to only moisturiser tretnoin and sunscreen! Skin barrier is your TOP PRIORITY ALWAYS!

Basically comedonal acne people have an underlying skin barrier defect which means LITERALLY ANYTHING can trigger acne and you can do nothing about it. It is sad but the above things helps. I can never have clear skin but its so much better now! Also if your comedones are a-lot and not getting better get electrocautery session. I did when I was only 18 because NOTHING was helping and my doc finally asked me to do it. It helped A-LOT to jumpstart my skin.

I just don’t want to always live in a life churning cycle of using every skincare product under the sun and relying on antibiotics and medicine to cope with acne it’s better to accept it first and then change lifestyle. It is hard for me too i get so sad and depressed and I'm trying to grow into

I remember having comodonal acne. I got frustrated. I scraped it. I got acne scarring for few years but it went away. Now, I have ok skin, I don't do much skin care.

I've had comedonal spots for years now, i never really bothered treating it since it was quite minimal and only around my eye area, but going to try salycilic acid now and see if theres any results.

Okay so, I’m a 17 year old female who has never had a skin care routine ever. I get bumps underneath my skin on my forehead that don’t really itch but they get pus in them whenever I try to squeeze them and they hurt sometimes. It’s only on my forehead and I don’t know what it is or how to treat it. I’ve tried pimple patches and they don’t work, and the only skin care products I’ve used are the CeraVe daily moisturizing lotion and the CeraVe gentle skin cleanser. I haven’t really noticed a difference in my skin after using them

I am using Jan Marini acid pads rn to try to get rid of my comedonal acne. My skin gets so dry that it is hard to not apply something on my face multiple times a day. I tried coconut oil originally, but since it is super pore-clogging, I was told to try argan oil. 😖 Hopefully it goes away soon! I hate it so much!

What if you have both? Some closed comedones and some red but not itchy?

[Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

So I have has these small bumps on my cheeks and I’ve had them for a few years now
I have tried to get rid of them but I don’t really know what they are. mine are under the skin and sometimes red they don’t itch but are super annoying. I also have them on my arms and when I asked a dermatologist they say it’s because of dryness so I started moisturising every night and morning nothing is working what should I do??

[fjwjfifjebzjckej]

[fuckingastonishing]

Using aha bha exfoliant from like 6 months and no results so now i am sure its fungal acne 😂

[dralpanamohta]

Fun fact- Fungal acne is not really a form of acne. It's actually a form of folliculitis. But this simplified version is very informative. Great video!

I have the second one in my jaw line, my arms and now in my thighs.

[yamjam]

Do I wash my face with the dandruff shampoo??

[dynanana]
