Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Safe Products
Unlike acne, fungal acne isn’t caused primarily by oil and bacteria in pores, although oil and sebum production is a big part of helping feed the bacteria that cause fungal acne.
Instead, the pimple-like bumps and irritated skin associated with fungal acne are caused by an overgrowth of yeast, a type of fungus.
That’s why it’s sometimes called fungal acne. It’s also referred to as Pityrosporum folliculitis or Malassezia folliculitis.
The yeast responsible for fungal acne is always present on your skin. Typically, your body is able to balance the yeast, other fungi, and bacteria that are also a part of your skin.
But if that natural balance is upset, an overgrowth can occur. That’s when the infection of hair follicles develops and acne-like symptoms show up.
