I've had fungal acne on my face, chest and back. It became so itchy whenever I was out in the sun. I was so careful of my skin so I started using cold water to bath because I noticed whenever I used warm or hot water it grew more. Reducing my sugar intake also helped to reduce the growth of the fungal acne.
thank you so much for this video!!! i even took notes as if it was a lecture haha. it was super helpful, and you're so pleasing to listen to (i find other skincare youtubers kind of annoying).
I watched your other video on products you use. I totally agree that fungal acne is rooted in our gut health, so I’m wondering, have you been able to use other moisturizers now that you have healed the root of the issue? I want to be able to use jojoba, tallow, olive oil.. I don’t want to avoid them forever. I can totally notice my fungal acne worsens or improves based on my diet. Thanks!
Hi, firstly I wanted to say thank you so much for this it’s really helping. Recently I removed all fatty oils and esters from my skincare and although my skin got better it resumed and now I know it’s because of diet. What I wanted to ask is do I have to cut out all starchy foods completely can I eat a little pasta for example at lunch time?❤
Eliminating those types of foods for a few weeks can be helpful, but the goal is always to keep your diet as diverse as possible. So, test a little, wait 2-3 days and see how your skin responds. When microbial balance is restored, these types of foods should no longer prove so problematic. Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve been dealing with this condition for years and it always recurs in the same area on my back. I’ve been misdiagnosed by dermatologists until one recognized that it wasn’t bacterial acne and prescribed me 2% ketoconazole. The odd thing was, he mentioned that diet has no role in affecting it. But, from personal experience, certain foods can worsen mine. Do you have a particular probiotic that works for you? I’m so overwhelmed with all the brands that are offered and don’t know where to start. I am looking at the Garden of Life Once Daily Women’s Probiotic, would that be something you’d suggest? Thank you!
Sorry to hear about your challenges with this-it’s great that awareness of it is now increasing. I’m afraid I can’t comment on what particular probiotic is right for you, but you may find this video ua-cam.com/video/jAbBgGil19c/v-deo.htmlsi=r1J4lw1HOERn5rJQ and this video ua-cam.com/video/_yrzyImmsZA/v-deo.htmlsi=neLGQdSLcrxk0z_v helpful
@@fionalawsonnutrition Thank you! I watched them both. I probably will need to re watch to get a better understanding as I am very new to all of this. For the second video when you are talking about acne, does it include fungal acne as well? I’m not sure which category to try.
@@Doingmybest700 In my experience, the strains mentioned can certainly help fungal acne. They help some more than others, but that goes for ‘ordinary’ acne too
I’m pretty sure my son has fungal acne I thought is was just regular acne so I was getting him to drink kombucha with no sugar and his skin broke out more. Then I read that fermented foods and drinks can actually make it worse because of the yeast they contain.
Interesting. Some types of yeast (such as S. boulardii) have been shown to fight back against other unfriendly yeasts-but there’s still so much we don’t know here. Thank you for sharing your experience!
I got my FA under control with the right skincare but my skin breaks out when I drink beer or eat kimchi, makes sense if I relate it to what you mentioned above! I can recommend for your son products with propolis, I use daily cosrx propolis light ampoule and I feel it calms the flare ups
Generally speaking, the less-sweet fruits are a better choice. So apples, pears, plums and berries. Sweet or tropical fruits like grapes and pineapple aren’t so helpful!
I’ve been having a healthy diet since my early twenties, been always in a healthy lifestyle. But my foliculitus just wouldn’t go away, for around two years. I was on doxycycline for two months, that helped improve my condition last summer but I still had to continue using antibiotic creams for maintenance. Later, this February, it came back in a worsen form but two months of antibiotics didn’t work this time coz I was misdiagnosed (in Taiwan they don’t perform tests on you before prescriptions), the doc still treated me as if I had a bacterial foliculitus. The use antibiotics seemed to make it worse in the end as I got a fungal foliculitus. Now I seem to have both. And the new doc still prescribed me doxycycline! 🤦🏻♀️ Plus anti fungal creams, and he told me to remove all the nuts from my healthy diet. Sorry for the long story… Is it really sensible to remove nuts? I have naturally a low amount of fats, like at the borderline so the dietitian advised me to consume nuts every day and also may be coz I’m not a red meat eater, normally not even chicken, very seldom, but I eat fish or seafood every day. The rest is 95% of plant based. I take probiotics and good quality yogurt. I also dislike sweets except for dark chocolate. Recently I took a blood test, everything is very normal. Is there still smth off with my diet? Should I remove the nuts? Thank you
I’m afraid I can’t give personalised advice-as I don’t know your health history-but I can say that mechanistically, the removal of nuts isn’t indicated for Malassezia folliculitis. However, you should always check in with your medical provider before making any changes 👍
Try using VICCO TURMERIC CREAM. It helps, trust me.. If you dont, there's nothing wrong in trying! I really feel your pain, it can be depressing..the world is such a tough place where looks matter a lot. Hope this helps, all the best. Nevertheless you are beautiful!
It hasn’t been studied in relation to fungal acne specifically, but it has been shown to help acne (possibly by influencing some of the hormones involved), so it may be worth trying. Of course, check in with your doctor before you start any new supplements 👍
Just curious how one would regularly incorporate sauerkraut and kimchi in their diets, besides the culturally relevant? I mean what were people eating 100 years ago, who didn’t know about sauerkraut or kimchi, lol? There has to be other options for fermented foods if they’re so important to the diet!
I hear you. Practically speaking, both are now readily available and it’s easy to add a tablespoon of either to what you’re already eating-almost like a condiment. But other options like yogurt and kefir are also valuable, and both have a long history of consumption in various parts of the world.
Peanut butter is generally fine, as long as you don’t have specific sensitivities or allergies. Honey is a form of sugar, so best to be mindful about consumption.

Hi I think it’s a good idea to give up nuts and maybe the fish too try eating chicken take antihistamines cetrezine maybe you have allergies
@@AHaffejee Thanks for this

How do we feel about sourdough?
As bread goes, it’s one of the best choices!
Can you suggest the fruits we are allowed to eat and the ones we aren't? I'm just confused about this 😅

@@adityasameersharma9096 thank you so much for your advice ❤️
Can you suggest a good antifungal?
A basic caprylic acid is a good place to start (after checking in with your doctor, of course)
Please could you do a video on what products to use on fungal acne x
Of course-it's in the pipeline!
Edited to add it’s now here! ua-cam.com/video/DAmh3BYXP-E/v-deo.html
Are rolled oats ,eggs and salmon recommended for damaged skin barrier with fungle acne?
Thank you ❤
To eat? Yes, these are all great! Whole nuts and seeds are helpful too.
Hi, can i take probiotic lactobacillus rhamnosus sp1 for fungal acne?
It hasn’t been studied in relation to fungal acne specifically, but it has been shown to help acne (possibly by influencing some of the hormones involved), so it may be worth trying. Of course, check in with your doctor before you start any new supplements 👍
I was diagnosed with malasezzia folliculitis on my chest
how to remove it
what do I have to do
You may find this video helpful: ua-cam.com/video/DAmh3BYXP-E/v-deo.html And obviously follow the advice of your medical practitioner
What about supplementing b3?
This can be helpful, but it wouldn’t be my first choice or first interventional step

Can i have peanut butter, honey,
Peanut butter is generally fine, as long as you don’t have specific sensitivities or allergies. Honey is a form of sugar, so best to be mindful about consumption.
Stop eating all sugar. Yeast loves and thrives on sugar.
Can i add banana to my diet
It can help to mindfully reduce sweet things, including tropical fruits. But eating the odd banana isn’t going to be make-or-break for your skin!
Please can you explain more
What if its not itchy?
It isn’t always!
Eating chicken and meat cause acne?
They’re unlikely to, unless eaten in huge amounts
