I have been following this discussion for years. But I have failed to follow the advice presented by Aussie Scientist which for me is the most useful on this thread if you think your issue is fungal. ...

My derm said Itracazonale is the one for yeast within the skin, that Flucazanole doesn’t have such a good effect.

I agree with Mathteacher above there are some different issues. I definitely think mine is fungal. I am annoyingly at a stage whereby it’s nearly gone but not fully resolved, but my dermatologist has...

The worst it’s ever been and hopefully now drying out following all of Aussie Scientists advice and not carrying out some of the errors I was making FB150DC9-69E7-4B4F-B757-228B03B6CE1E.jpeg 31B61...

Please read everything Aussie Scientist says - below are the mistakes I’ve made recently where I’ve been only just about been controlling it whereas before I had 6 months clearance before it coming ba...

Finally I think I’ve found the name of the condition. It’s considered rare and cause is unknown but believed to be a response to an organism - which would stack up with the fungal cause or viral cause...

Still struggling - very frustrating.  Using ciclopirox olamine cream at the moment. It’s fungicidal rather than fungistatic so actually kills the yeast rather than jus...

This accurately describes my issue. Have you tried anti fungals?

Drying out and starting to heal. Little breakouts still pop up at this stage because fungal treatment takes weeks/months not days. 

Some extra info: 1. I had not take antibiotics in years. However this was initially triggered by mask wearing due to covid. Luckily my friend who is a facialist had suggested it may be yeast/funga...

Adding pictures from last bad outbreak and this one. Just to show various stages/types of lesions

I’m now going through the worse before better stage which some other posters have discussed. This happened before with my original bad outbreak. Once using the anti fungal things see...

I’m back to make a comment to help anyone else who stumbles across this post from a Google search like I originally did.    i was free from the condition ...

I also struggled with the anti fungal cream but I found a solution version where there was only one other ingredient. It was PEG400 which is moisturising but isn’t a fatty alcohol or an oil which fung...

CANDIDA IS MY CAUSE   This topic has helped me so much I needed to reply to add my info.    Symptoms very similar - painful nodule/cyst like spots, they wou...

Wow, great improvement, especially around your chin area. Your skin looks plumper and healthier too, a nice sheen to it!

I think people forget the amount of times you hurt yourself as a child....my lil bro has baby smooth skin (he is 13) but if you look closely he has quite a few small scars not pits but longer and thin...

Bicarbonate of Soda?

I love the Baking Soda as a mild scrub, but i don't get along too well with ACV even very diluted....obviously i need something to balance the ph do you feel a toner containing salicylic acid would do...

I tried this today and the Bicarbonate of Soda was an amazing exfoliant....I usually use a microfiber cloth but only once a week as you can get carried away with it.   I used Mild Lancome cleans...
