malassezia folliculitis. - HEALTHIES
Layers of this dead skin build up very quickly and cause my pores to clog with grease and sweat. Bacteria or yeast can then have a field day underneath the protective layer of gunk (although my dermatologist diagnosed me with malassezia folliculitis, I'm now unsure if it's actually just bacterial folliculitis or just plain acne). After a round of antibiotics killed off the good bacteria in my body, I developed malassezia folliculitis aka pityrosporum folliculitis.

Alongside this I have seborrheic dermatitis which I've been able to keep at bay. My face/scalp can get a bit oily and flaky but I haven't had a serious outbreak for a long time. I have just recovered from the worst outbreak of pityrosporum (malassezia) folliculitis ever. On hindsight, I should have taken photos to document my hellish experience but I was too ashamed! This is the story and I hope someday someone experiencing the same hell would stumble upon this blog and find a solution to their folliculitis problem.
