Do i have pityrosporum folliculitis acne?

i have been battling with this acne on my forehead for about a year now these sorts of little colorless bump and whiteheads.. I’m starting to think that is pityrosporum folliculitis.. but idk some of the descriptions of  folliculitis i read about it seem like it could be but some don’t. But normal acne medication, face wash, pills, etc. haven’t helped to much..

    Do you have the same bumps on your back, arms, or neck? These are where they normally appear if you have pityrosporum folliculitis. They rarely appear on the face.



Go to a doctor or dermatologist and ask if you can take a medicine called acutane that medicine really works but the side effect for it causes lower back pain but you will only have to take it for around 4 months and the back pain doesn't even bother me just can't slouch cause that's what triggers it

We all have skin problems in a certain period of our life. But struggling that battle without any results is very disappointing and nervous. Scars and blemishes are very hard to deal with and even some expensive skin creams are not solving the pityrosporum folliculitis once for all

pityrosporum folliculitis causes _ folliculitis cure

There are four causes and the pityrosporum folliculitis options are mostly prescription medications. The 4 categories of folliculitis are bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic.

It is not Acne; it is called Folliculitis, which is the inflammation of one or more hair follicles occurring anywhere on the skin. The common symptoms are a rash, itching and pimples or pustules near a hair follicle on the neck, groin or genital area.

Some day to day things to change to reduce the incidence of Folliculitis is to reduce friction from clothing, avoid shaving or use a new, clean razor each time you shave. You may want to sterilize the razor. Lastly do your best to keep the area clean and avoid clothing and washcloths that could be contaminated.

As it been mentioned there are different types of Folliculitis and the current treatment used, they are:

Bacterial Folliculitis

Bacterial Folliculitis is a result of one of the types of the Staphylococcus bacteria, Pseudonomas, Proteus or Coliform bacteria getting under the skin by some break in the skin and infecting a hair follicle. Once the bacteria are trapped under the skin it is possible for it to spread to other par777ts of the body.

The types of Folliculitis caused by bacteria are "Hot Tub" Folliculitis and Gram-Negative Folliculitis. Superficial Folliculitis, also known as Impetigo, consists of pustules but the infection can go deeper into the skin causing pain and pus. These can often result in scarring to the skin.

Superficial Folliculitis often responds to a topical antibiotic like Mupirocin or fusidic acid ointment. The cases where the Folliculitis has gone deeper into the skin require broad-spectrum antibiotics like cephalosporins, macrolides, or fluoroquinolone. Lancing is required to drain carbuncles and furuncles if they do not drain on their own.

Fungal Folliculitis

Fungal infections are either superficial or deep and can even spread to the blood or internal organs. Three categories of functions are common in the body; Dermatophytic Folliculitis, Pityrosporum Folliculitis and Candida Folliculitis.

Dermatophytic Folliculitis is caused by a fungal species and the severity of the infection will be directly related to the depth of fungal penetration in the hair shaft. Athlete's Foot and Jock Itch are both conditions caused by Ringworm, which are well-known types of this condition. Unsightly pustules of various sizes are present filled with pus and it is common that there will be a loss of the hair shaft. It is not uncommon for there to be scarring in cases of bad folliculitis. If the penetration into the skin is deep there may also be pain, fever and permanent hair loss. Griseofulvin and Terbinafine HCl are used as treatment options that produce good results.

When yeast is able to enter a hair follicle and reproduce causing an itchy skin eruption it is known as Pityrosporum Folliculitis. It can be effectively treated with a topical antifungal medication.

Candida Folliculitis is caused by the Candida fungus and is the most common in infecting people. This is best treated with Itraconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal agent.

Viral Folliculitis

This is an infrequent infection of the hair follicle by a virus such as the herpes simple virus or herpes zoster virus. They are treated by the use of oral antihistamines or surgical removal.

Parasitic Folliculitis

Parasites cause Folliculitis when they burrow their way into a hair follicle to live there or lay eggs. Two mites, Demodex Folliculorum and Demodex Brevis are natural hosts of the hair follicle. The most well-known form of this infection is Rosacea, which is commonly mistaken for as acne. A pityrosporum folliculitis would be the use of a topical Permethrin cream like Elimite or Acticin, systemic Ivermectin or Itraconazale.

Those bumpy, puss-filled, red, round things on your back...they are acne lesions right? Maybe not. You might call them "Pityrosporum folliculitis" instead.

Pityrosporum folliculitis is a fungal infection provoked by excess amounts of a yeast known as Pityrosporum orbicular. Papules and pustules on the chest, back and shoulders often characterize Pityrosporum folliculitis. The condition mostly affects young men and some adults over age 40.

Pityrosporum orbicular yeasts thrive in wet, hot environments which is why this condition commonly afflicts athletes.

pityrosporum folliculitis treatment included exfoliating shampoos that contain 2-5% selenium sulfide or ketoconazole. These active ingredients are found in most dandruff shampoos. Doctors can also prescribe topical and oral anti-fungal treatments.

Yet, since patients typically treat the condition like acne, understandably because the lesions look like acne, Pityrosporum folliculitis often results in extensive bodily scarring and skin damage. Excessive amounts of the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes can provoke skin inflammation and acne lesions, but it is an overabundance of Pityrosporum orbicular yeast that induce Pityrosporum folliculitis.

Properly treating acne and pityrosporum folliculitis treatment can prevent extensive bodily scarring that can result from uncontrolled bacterial or fungal infections.

By performing a simple microbe analysis, your doctor or health practitioner can decide if your body pustules and papules are fungi or bacteria induced and then help you determine the best way to control the condition.

For an at-home treatment, you can use OTC dandruff shampoos because the active ingredients in these substances treat yeast over population and are also indicated for potentially scarring conditions of the skin like seborrheic dermatitis.

Finally, determining whether or not you have Pityrosporum folliculitis is important because in some cases this condition may forewarn of an underling immunological disorder.
