Let’s talk about the drama between fungal acne and regular acne (aka acne vulgaris). Because yes, they may look like twins but trust us not all breakouts are actually acne.⁠
⁠
Enter: fungal acne (aka Malassezia folliculitis), the sneaky imposter that thrives on heat, sweat, and your fave creamy moisturiser. Cute, right?⁠
⁠
What you need to know:⁠
Fungal acne is characterised by small, itchy, same-size bumps (usually on your forehead, chest, or back), showing up in annoying clusters like they planned it in a group chat. It’s a yeast overgrowth, not bacteria. So, if you’ve been slathering on acne products and still nothing’s working, if she’s got the signs, she may just be fungal, not hormonal.⁠
⁠
Common acne (acne vulgaris) is a chaotic mix of blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, papules with later stages having deep cysts and nodules (hard, red and sore infections). These guys have a mind of their own, thanks to excessive oil, an imbalance in hormones and bacteria infiltration, and they can spread out like they’re freelancing on your face, neck, chest and back!⁠
⁠
Treating fungal acne takes a very different course to common acne, you’ll need products that contain anti-fungal ingredients, very light weight (non-oily) creams, and to make sure you always shower after sweating and exercise (this is where the fungus thrives).⁠
⁠
Moral of the story: If your bumps are all the same size, love to cluster, and itch like they have a vendetta, it might be time to call out the fungus among us. Most importantly, if you’re unsure please consult with an O Skin Expert who can confidently diagnose your condition and get you on the right track.
