I think you just saved my life. I had a telemedicine LAZY dermatologist who didn't bother with me. I do have Fugal Acne. It is very controlled but you just gave me the cure. THANK YOU
I’m going to see my doctor soon about fungal issues with my folliculitis. I’ve had a severe case on the back of my legs/bum for like 8 years. The only thing that has helped is Hibiclens so far.
hey! Im in the exact same boat as you. Severe folliculitis on my back / legs / bottom for years and also use hibiclense. Nothing has worked for me but I’ve yet to try antibiotics. Have you tried them and if so did they help?
Well here goes.....all my life I’ve suffered with “boils” in my groin areas, front to back. It seems after they get huge, burst, then heal, they always reappear. My GP says it genetics and there’s nothing I can do to prevent. I’m a very clean person and have tried everything. Please are you aware of this condition and have any suggestions for me? This would be life changing for sure. Thanks you so much in advance for your kind consideration.
I know this is an old comment, but I had this too ever since puberty until now. And I know your pain! I started putting those pimple patches on any parts that were broken, or about to be broken open. They healed WAY faster and never got to that painful size where I could barely sit. :( It's probably because it provided a barrier, plus those patches draw out the stuff inside without making it dry. I also stopped with the acne products on that area as it just made it worse. 100% cotton undies. No picking or squeezing. Honestly, I thought it was because of my weight, but I lost 134 lbs and I still got them! And I had them when I was young and trim. Good luck to you!
Dr. I have been battling folliculitis for 8 yrs. My scalp was horrible at one time. Huge bumps that I could squeeze out bumps. Now it's just like a regular acne bump break out. My pubic hair folliculitis is so painful. I use Hibiclenz. I have clindamycin pads, I take doxycycline. I'm at my wits end, literally. I'm 63 yrs old. Obese. 7 yrs sober, almost 8. I am on depression, anxiety meds. Thyroid, cholesterol, high BP, aspirin, omeprazole, muscle relaxer and alprazolam as needed. I'll try the Cerav.
Thank you, Thank you re folliculitis. My GP won't give me a referral to a dermatologist, nor has he had one suggestion for this problem. Which is why I am researching. Cannot switch drs.
What is a waxy buildup or what looks like it? Btw I do like the science behind it. As a rule, for most people the science behind a condition, well..it is more informative and can make sense. Thanks Dr. Have a good one.
Im not a derm but have been dealing w pityrosporum folliculitis for a while now despite recurrent treatments, and I would just say avoid anything that could feed the yeast. I used to use scented lotions, now the only thing I use is a salicylic acid moisturizer & very sparingly. Scented Lotions have actually triggered flare ups for me in the past so I’d recommend you to avoid it if at all possible
Hello doc what type of hair moisturizer for shine and softness would you suggest for seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp i have seen my dermatologist but she is on leave and i forgot to ask ? . Just asking for suges
Im still wondering if what I have is malassezia on my face, I got it a year ago. my face became bumpy and rough, and theres also some small white hard beads/grains that I can feel everytime I run my fingers on my forehead or cheeks. Most of the times it comes off while I wash my face and it can easily be removed because it sticking out of my face.
@@hoebling4735 switched out my shampoo to head and shoulders and used safeguard pink as my face and body wash. Still didn't totally removed all of it but it did really lessen it a lot. Will still schedule an appointment with a derma soon tho cause I also have minor oral thrush. Hope it helps.
Hello, Dr. Sugai! I'm Kitty and I'm from the Philippines. :) Been supporting you in Tiktok but I'm just new in your YT channel. Hope you could help my teenage daughter with her back acne. What would you highly recommend? Thanks and more power to your channel. :)
they’re commonly itchy, which is a major hallmark of fungal acne vs normal comedones. I’m not a derm but was diagnosed & am still being treated for pityrosporum folliculitis, and the first breakout i had left my skin feeling very irritated with a slight burning sensation. I’m not sure if that is a common sign, but I would say that your symptoms are pretty aligned with at least my own experience of it.
**Are you sure fungal acne is so rare?** IS K-BEAUTY TRENDING AND ALL THE FERMENTED PRODUCTS TO BLAME FOR "FUNGAL ACNE" GOING VIRAL? I am in my 40's and I got it early in quarantine. I was inside my apartment 24/7 and had the humidifier keeping it at 45-50% hoping to help my sinus/allergy issues. And then if course I decided to get into K-Beauty with lots of fermented products which I guess are all the rage. THE ITCHING IS UNREAL!! I went on a fungal-acne safe basic boring routine and medicine. It took months to get my skin back to health.
@None Same. For me, it was my change in skincare with K-Beauty full of fermented yeast type stuff. And then my allergies were so bad being inside all day with any special needs hybrid rescue cats. I got an air purifier and humidifier to help my sinuses but the constant extra humidity in the air and the K-Beauty product gave me a nasty breakout. I didn't even realize what it was for a few months. It was the intense itching and how reactive my skin was to certain products that give me cause to go looking for answers. Don't believe I have ever had fungal acne before. Sadly, it came back 6 mos later, but I had the fungal acne safe products and treatment so I got it under control quick. So embarrassing as I had to avoid mirrors for my own sake and remind everyone it wasn't contagious. I didn't need a mirror when I could see how I looked by the expression of horror and concern on friends' faces. 🙀
@None The yeast that causes the "fungal acne" is always on our skin. It is an overgrowth that causes the infection. Kind of like the yeast infections most women will have to deal with at one time or another. Only, we put products on our faces that can make it worse

Any comments on use of zinc pyrithione rather than ketoconazole for the so called fungal acne?
For suspected folliculitis on the body. Should I avoid shea butter? I have just switched to Cerave lotion instead.

What’s your opinion on using Differin for acne/anti-aging versus tretinoin? Is there a time that we should switch from Differin to tret?
Thank you for such a helpful video. Unfortunately sulfates and even the gentler ones clog my pores, what do you suggest I cleanse with?
White t-shirt. Thank you!!!!
I have really dry skin with adult acne should I still be using benzel peroxide and acne products
Yes just use a hydrating moisturizer:)
Thank you for this helpful video!! Love your product tips! 😊
Dr. V mentioned that Neutrogena one can harm the skin due to Menthol? She said over time it can harm. Any thoughts?
Thank you doc ❤
Is there a sunscreen and moisturizer you recommend for Mila? Half the products I use break me out

Maybe try using hair oils on your scalp (like a mask ) to help as well

Can someone please tell that can we use that cera ve cream for butt acne?
The red bumps from fungal acne, is it possible for them to be itchy or irritated when lotion or simple pressure is applied?
