Can birth control heal Pityrosporum Folliculitis? I'm unsure if this is a dumb question or not but I have been reading through acne.org about Pityrosporum Folliculitis and never saw anyone talking about these 2 things together. I know for some women BC has helped alot with their bacterial acne, but has anyone got on birth control and noticed a decrease in their Pityrosporum Folliculitis?

I too was treated for Seb derm and acne for two years before finally seeing a derm and now I realized that stupid doctors wrongly diagnosing and treating me for acne has worsened this condition . What really worries me is that this PF will never be cured and has literally ruined my happiness. Before i started suffering these symptoms I played football at a high level, socialised every weekend and now I barely leave the house and find myself in tears everyday because of my skin and all it has took from me.
Did you try this? i am suffering from PF and i am also considering birth control
