Fungal Acne, what is it and how can you get rid of it?
- 1 min reading time
Fungal Acne, also known as yeast pimples, Malassezia, and pityrosporum folliculitis, appears as small pimples caused by an overgrowth of yeast infecting hair follicles. These pimples are often itchy and typically occur on the hairline, jawline, forehead, and cheeks. They are usually the same color as your skin or slightly redder, and have a texture that you can’t squeeze. Unlike regular acne, yeast pimples do not respond to typical bacterial acne treatments, often leading to the wrong treatment methods.
