    Excellent! I've never heard such a clear and concise explanation of the differences in acne before. So helpful, thank you!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you, my husband suffered from a terrible itchy rash for months. All my tricks slowly lessened the rash. He would go for a run and BAM, it's back. I saw your video and the missing pieces of the puzzle clicked into place. I immediately purchased Nirozal after I saw your video. He used it for a week as a shampoo and body wash. We pre-soaked his workout clothes in laundry sanitizer. The rash is gone! His scratches are healing. You made a huge difference in our lives. Thanks for all your education.

    Oh wow, THANK YOU! I get the occasional breakouts, specifically painful cystic acne on my chin, and so have been using clindamycin benzoyl peroxide gel since the pandemic with all my mask wearing made it worse. Well this month I started getting breakouts at my hair line and I couldn’t figure out why it hasn’t been healing since the acne wasn’t cystic or painful but kept persisting. Well, I had 2 back to back sinus infections I had to take oral antibiotics for during the last month and a half and this makes total sense now that I had a fungal breakout I’ve never had before! I’m excited to try the sulfur mask and see how it improves everything THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

    I would like to add that I have fungal acne and it only started flaring after wearing masks during Covid. So I know people say it’s mostly on the forehead but I think it’s more common to see it on the jaw and cheeks because of mask wearing.

    I had a facial 1 year ago and got these itchy bumps on my forehead. I’ve had acne before so know acne well. I KNEW this was not regular bumps. I went to three derma and they said it was just dry skin. Nothing is wrong. I know I got something from the lady who did my facial. This has helped me more than any info those 3 dermatologists gave me. Thank you for this info as this year has been horrible due to this fungal acne.

    I had a fungal acne on my forehead and side face for long period of time , i thought they were as normal acne and i spent money on cleansers without any benefits so i went to dermatologist and he said “do you have dandruff “i said yes and i was using hair products and he said i should stop using them and he gave me a solution to wipe the area which has the acne to minimize the inflammation .To be honest I got rid of them in 2 week, since i was suffering of them for 2 years.

    This was so helpful. I’ve been struggling with bumps on my forehead. I live in a high humidity climate and I swear that is part of the problem. I just bought disposable face clothes to use rather than wash clothes because I think that is harboring bacteria/fungus. My daughter had told me about head and shoulders and that did help some but never fully resolved it. I’m going to try the A-D shampoo you mentioned.

But after taking antibiotics suggested by doctor my acne became worse. And in my country the weather is very hot. But my bumps doesn't itch much i mean it frequently does and it looks like skin colour. And also my bumps are on my cheeks and around my mouth . So do i have fungal acne or closed comedones?
