Fungal Acne/folliculitis -- I've Been Fighting It Off Topically But It Returns Weeks Later. Help!

For the past 2 years I have had continued bouts of fungal acne/folliculitis that I manage to clear up using Head & Shoulders shampoo. It usually starts out on my neck and moves to my face or chest. Once I clear it up with the shampoo (for some reason Lotrimin hasn't worked as well as the H&S) it goes away for a few weeks or a few months, but it ALWAYS comes back. It's so frustrating!

I assume this means I need to be taking some kind of supplement to keep it from returning, but I don't have health insurance so it can't be anything that requires a prescription. I've been researching probiotics but don't know if that is going to help. Can anyone offer a suggestion?

 

Thanks!

How about wash with the H&S one or twice per week as preventative maintenance to keep the fungis at bay? That's the simplest thing that comes to mind. Everything else I can think of requires a prescription.
