    I had clear skin growing up even during puberty but all of a sudden I had this, i've been very consistent with my skin care routine. I thought they're just normal acne but it won't clear up, thank you so much for this. Really great help. I hope it will clear up soon.

      Hey guys. I've been using nizoral shampoo for almost 2 weeks now. I let it sit for 3-5 mins before rinsing then before i sleep i put some soothing gel. It is working and only few are left on my skin. I stopped my skin care routine for now to focus on my acne, but i make sure to wash my face before i sleep.
      I've been working out and trying to loose weight it is very humid in my country, i guess that's why they popped up on my skin. I hope yours clears up soon too.

    Symptoms that you might have anti fungal:
    -small appearing bumps (look the same)
    most common on back, chest, forehead, hairline, chin clusters
    -antibiotic causes more yeast
    -Oily skin because yeast loves oil
    -stubborn acne that won’t go away even with consistency
    -Sweating a lot
    -immunocompromised people
    How to treat:
    -Anti-fungal shampoo (free and clear dandruff shampoo)
    - equate dandruff shampoo
    -Nizoral dandruff shampoo (as a cleanser)
    Apply it for a few minutes before rinsing.
    -Z-bar vanicream
    -Sulfur products (also helps with oily skin)
    Bar cleanser, proseca leave in cream, mask.
    BRANDS
    -Aulfur Azufre
    -Sal 3
    (daily or a few times per week. Or a sulfur mask by acne free)
    Any cleansers that help with reducing oil.
    And that’s all folks.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I became immunodeficient 10 years ago and almost immediately developed these symptoms on my face, scalp, neck, and upper back/arms. It was just diagnosed as regular seborrheic dermatitis and nobody knew what the acne part was. I kept trying different soaps and cleansers but only zinc pyrithione or sulfur helped. Having this yeast on my face also makes my skin constantly inflamed from an autoimmune reaction so it looks like I went skiing. I kept thinking it had something to do with fungus but was not sure. Now I have a name and some treatment options. Thank you so much for this! This made my day. Subscribed!!! ❤❤

    I wish more dermatologists and companies knew about fungal acne like this. Mine was diagnosed as regular acne for the past 10 years and some gave me antibiotics which just made it worse. Free & clear anti-dandruff works best for me since I'm allergic to fragrances. It gets rid of 90-95% of my problem but I have to use it as a body wash too and it's very drying. Very few fungal acne safe moisturizers exist that are also fragrance free. I really hope better fungal acne products will be made in the future.

    I have had "fungal acne" ever since I was 10. My dad used to say that I don't wash my face and used to scream at me for that. That's when my mom stepped in. She told him that when I was 2 I started having dermathitis and we even went to the doctor. I've hated those bumps for sooooo long, that I even tried popping them and that's why I've had several really bad breakouts with cysts (not even pimples) that hurt really bad and I always picked on them and it irritated me so bad,that my face is very much in pain these days...

      For anything cystic, eating a large bowl of watermelon daily will help w drainage. 👍 Dark grapes, melons and citrus are great. Cysts usually come from a clog in the lymphatic drainage pathway. These fruits work. I’m shocked at how well the watermelon (with seeds) helps, but it does. You’ll pee a lot too cuz it gets your kidneys going. lol

      Ikr, when your family treats you in a certain way just cause you have a skin condition that affects your appearance, it really sucks. My mom scolds me to wash my face, drink water & sleep to get rid of it. I understand it can help my skin to a certain extent but it will NOT clear up my 6 years of acne fully! I don't even wanna live in our home, I can't even get out of my room, when we have dinner together in the table, they all look at my skin in a certain way that makes me so uncomfprtable, just like today I sensed all of them looking at my skin, but I kept eating, then my mum started laughing, I asked why, she said "How many pimples you have in your face! Just look at your face hahaha" I started to have watery eyes, then my brother told "stop telling her these, she's bout to cry" then I couldn't hold onto it anymore I started crying, then again she scolded me because I shouldn't cry. I'm in a literal torture just because I've a skin condition, I'm literally crying as I'm typing this.

      That's one of the issues that comes with the basic model of medicine. It's very good if you've got a clear cause of the illness, but if it crosses the lines between specialties, it can be a real problem. It gets even worse with psychosomatic disorders, as in ones that have a brain component and a body component as hardly anybody knows how to deal with it. If you're lucky the doctor will mention it, but I had no idea that that's why I've got tinnitus. Nobody bothered to mention that it's psychosomatic because the nerves are getting triggered without cause and gave me a way of dealing with it.

I teach her stuff about the body all the time. I say most doctors are just really good at studying and parroting information, most of them are not skilled at figuring out whats going on, they are stabbing in the dark. This is why I like Traditional Chinese Medicine, they go in depth with your whole body, and whole health, including mental.

    I was struggling with acne (nobody told what kind of) for about 12 years, since my 18s. So many dermatologist visited (believe-even the best one in LT), so much money spent on various products (starting from variuos oral antibiotics, creams, serums and antibiotic containing prescription creams, even birth control pills)-nothing solved the problem FOR 12 YEARS (!!!). Since, one day I found this Doctor and saw the video. It seemed you were talking about me and my bumpy cheeks, and the symptoms were the same! I did all the recomendations (used recomended topical antifungals for 2 months), changed my cosmetics completely, omiting all fungal acne triggers (even in shampoos). And gess what happened - I have got amazing skin, and bumps now are rarely seen on my face. I have never thought that you one can be cured via UA-cam, but I am a proof :D. MANY THANKS and greetings from Lithuania :)

    Then a dermatologist said it was regular acne with an autoimmune reaction and I've been on a steroid ointment for over 5 years.

    O M G. This is the thing that's been pestering my face and back and arms SINCE ALWAYS (well. since i hit puberty). I used to use salicylic acid skincare products but they were dehydrating my face in a long term basis and then the skin was getting more oily, and... you can imagine how that was going for me. I kinda gave up and bought some products for rosacea since that's my issue too and... it really does help for those stubborn gremlins inhabiting my skin! I'm gonna try out some sulfur cosmetics as well - never gave them a shot before, so I'll see how these stand in the battle agains the tiny army of evil bumps. Thank you! Subscribed on spot!

My theory is that it is “fungal acne” due to the masks creating a humid/sweaty environment... going to try the ketaconozole shampoo with fingers crossed! I’m so bad about picking at my face when there’s texture, as I’m not used to it 🥺🙈

    Hey y'all!!! Read this. I have had acne that has lasted for years (same "bump" or patch). There's cysts in it that I tweeze out because they hurt so bad. But once I pull them out the pain stops.
    I am 40. This started in my late 20s. Always on my chin and then about 7 years ago they started on my forehead near the hairline. Now, I've literally tried everything from cleansing to clay, and creams, oils, steroids, ZapZit, crushed antibiotics, penicillin from TSC, wormer that I used for the horses all the way to their lice treatment thinking it could be a parasite. Yes, I've tried leaving it alone but it forms this crust that gets thick and I peel that off after a few weeks and there's NO healing.
    When the bumps do decide to give up, usually after about 3 years, they just go away and leave really easy to extract tiny cyst. Then a whole new cluster comes back up within 2 inches of the last cluster. It's been flusterating to say the least. Considering I'm 40 and didn't have a problem with acne when I was a teen.
    So all that said, I put on some athlete's foot cream 2 nights ago and holy wow!!! They are healing.... Finally!!!! I have applied it a few times in the two days.
    This video was a Godsend for me! Thank you to the doctor that posted it. This will literally change my life and how I can walk through it confidently now.

      @@abdellahelmansori4446 Hi. I'm sorry to say this but the same exact spot I thought was healing did not heal. It came back full force after getting better for a short time. It never went away.And to top it all off, it's still there. It still has a scab on it that doesn't want to go away. It still has cysts in it. I haven't touched it for weeks and that does help with the inflammation of course. I use differin gel on it every night and wash it daily. But it still lingers. I get other bumps sometimes that are gone in a week with the same treatment. This one has been there for YEARS!!! I'd say about 4 years. Differin does help more than most products and it is excellent for regular bumps. But this one won't go away it just kinda chills for a while then flairs back up. Best of luck to you with your blemishes, unfortunately I haven't found a solid cure:(. Also, I've never had a single one of these bumps leave a scar ironically. But I would use the spray tan from Sally Hansen and spray it on something then dab it on the spot and blend. The color will eventually even out. You can't even see where the old ones were.

    ok so i know this video was made awhile ago but i’ve had fungal acne for probably two years now, it just spread over my forehead and i was getting so tired of it, i got all these little comments at school about it and i just stopped looking in the mirror because it made me feel bad about myself and was definitely my biggest insecurity. i’ve started using Benzoyl peroxide 5% and i have no words. i’ve only been using it for A WEEK and my face is already smoothing out and getting so much better ❤️ i don’t know if this works for everyone but it’s definitely worked for me. i was able to just get it at my drugstore but i think at some places it either needs to be prescribed or you have to ask. It does have some pretty big side affects as well especially if your skins sensitive but i totally recommend checking it out. I’m also not saying this will work for everyone it’s just my story :)
