Demodex And Acne

Have you ever been totally perplexed about your stubborn acne? Maybe it isn’t even acne at all! Perhaps that's why you're not responding to acne treatment like you would expect.

If it looks like acne, but actually isn’t... What is it really? 🤔🙄

People are often confused about this skin condition because... It looks so similar to regular acne! While it is still referred to as ‘fungal acne,’ this skin condition is not actually classified under ‘acne’. As the name implies, this skin condition is caused by a fungus named Malassezia. 😨😯 This fungus is considered to be a part of the skin’s natural flora. In some people (due to a variety of reasons) it overgrows and causes acne-like lesions.

But the difference between these lesions and real acne is that they are itchy and uniform and cannot be treated with antibiotics, as the condition may worsen. 😳

If you have been trying to cure your acne, and it has not been responding to treatment, then perhaps you have been actually dealing with fungal acne all along! Stay tuned, because we can teach you the fundamentals when it comes to this lesser-known condition of facial breakouts. 😖
