I too had fungal foliculitus on my chest. It was maddening. For years I treated it like acne with salacylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, exfoliant, etc. none of which seemed to help. When I read about fu...

Actually I think I will get it. Have you tried it?

I would get this, but I'm loving glycolic acid these days.

Couldn't hurt right?

You'd think if they put BP in a face wash they'd put it in a shave cream. Which stays on the face longer?

It's hard to find the right balance. Products like benzoyl peroxide and salacylic acid actually work well together because they do different things. The salacylic acid opens pores and exfoliates whi...

It seems Salicylic Acid is in everything, cleansers, lotions, etc. but why not a shaving cream? I realize that it wouldn't be on the skin that long, so perhaps not super effective, but it couldn't hu...

Am i suffering from Pityrosporum Folliculitis or grover's disease Scabies?   Thank you so very much!!! I finally convinced my derm that it was PF. She gave me a topical Ketoconazole and I've ...

I have tried using BP constantly, several times a day at 2% even 10%. It helped, but ever got me clear, particularly on my forehead. I also had folliculitis on my chest (red bumps) where BP had no af...

Great question! I've often wondered how long BP stays active in the pores...if it kills acne bacteria for an hour, a few hours, or all day until the next dose. My guess is the longer it's in the pores...

Thanks akko!   Hope your right, cos i couldnt find anything relating to the hair folicals on my chest getting infected or just bumpy in general.   Yeah i will try H&S. Any luck? Niz...

Most of the major dandruff shampoos (H&S, Selsun Blue, and Nizoral) have an anti-fungal ingredient that seems to help with acne by kiling bacteria and reducing sebum production. Some people also ...

I don't get why there's no SA, BP, exfoliant, or other active ingredient in Dan's cleanser... it's JUST a mild soap. Acne is caused by P. acne so why not include an anti-bacterial?

It's all over your face (as opposed to just your nose or forehead) so I'd say that's moderate. Is that without using anything? If so, I'm betting Dan's 'Regimen' is all you need.

I've read the steam and even humid environments can increase sebum production and cause break outs. I think the only use for steam is to maybe soften skin before extractions ("popping zits") but not ...

If I understand correctly, acne is caused by a bacteria (P. acnes). Right? So... why do we say "everyones skin is different"? While I'm sure we all vary we're not THAT different. In fact, it seems...

I am rotating Nizoral, Selsun Blue, and Head & Shoulders AND added probiotic juices and yogurt to my diet. All seem to be helping.

I strongly believe that if you're starting with clear skin that you'll get much better results from BP. It makes sense if you think about it, the BP can get into pores and kill bacteria. If you have...

46yo male here and I have recently come to a similar conclusion. Been using BP for years, and while it has helped it has never been completely effective no matter how much I used. Recently started u...

Pity, when people who desperately want to rid themselves of a nightmare deny something because it's not a bunch of crazy chemicals. Do some research. Everything is "chemical", and just because a che...

This question has been on my mind for years and I can't find any quality information. How long does benzoyl peroxide remain active after it is applied to the skin?   I have found Dan's one size...
