Pityrosporum Folliculitis ?

Hey, guys. If nobody's responding to treatments, I recommend a skin biopsy. I've been diagnosed with PF by four different derms and this thing has never truly went away. Most meds never worked to begi...

Green Tea/sea Salt Toner. Effective And Easy To Make

Does this work well with closed comedones or is it better for non-inflamed acne? I've tried sea salt before and it did nothing for me.

Pityrosporum Folliculitis ?

Is anyone having any progress with facial PF? Besides prescriptions I haven't found anything OTC that helps. I've tried most of the products discussed besides the Noble Soap. It gets expensive after a...

Pityrosporum Folliculitis ?

I ended up splurging on the Clarifoam and all the while I'm using an AHA lotion that I had in the cabinet for a while. I almost gave up on the lotion since it didn't seem like it was working up until ...

Few years ago I was diagnosed with PF. Derm put me on Loprox cream (worked), Clarifoam EF (worked like a charm) but all this stuff just kept coming back. Prescriptions get pricey so I'm still trying t...

Hello. First off, ringworm is generally the same thing as folliculitis - it's yeast. I think you have a systemic yeast infection... Even if I'm wrong and you just have it on the skin, you might wan...

Does anyone have any suggestions if everything else fails to work?   I've made at least 5 visits to my new derm--he seemed to be the most knowledgeable out of all the derms I've been to--and stil...

Small bumps plugged pores could be a fungus.

I read in another forum somewhere that sea salts help folliculits. I just tried it today and of course it's much too soon to tell any difference. I was told that if you have the bumps on your body to ...

Okay...I have tried just about all this. I have been diagnosed with Pitysporum folliculitis but not a whole lot is working. I've had it for years, thinking it was simply acne when I wasn't treating it...

Has anyone heard/tried Clearpores ?

I have. Don't get it. It is totally not worth the money. It's totally weak and doesn't work at all.
