do you think it is safe for fungal acne? The toxicity of ionic surfactants has been previously reported. Sorry, this has me so confused because when I google some ingredients with “ate” at the end, it doesn’t clearly say if it is an ester or not.This is the most informative article on malassezia folliculitis I’ve seen thus far. That is when I found your website and learned EVERYTHING. (What’s more, is people with acne have overactive TLR-2 receptors versus healthy controls. However, to prevent possible relapse it’s best to follow up with a weekly honey application for several months.If you don’t like the idea of putting raw honey on your face, you can always try using products with honey extract or propolis.And while we’re on the subject of propolis, interestingly enough two recent studies (in vitro and in vivo) showed that propolis extract exhibits antimicrobial activity against For more information about probiotics — what they are, their benefits on skin, which to take etc. Thank you for all of your hard work.What’s your opinion whether the CeraVe Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion is safe for fungal acne?I’ve been referring to this blog for the past year and a half. Doctors have a lamp which is called Wood’s lamp and its the same as a blacklight bulb or device (don’t go DIY).”And this is where things get depressing because there’s a lot we need to steer clear of…. My face has not responded to ANY bacterial topicals over the last eight months, and I am constantly “arguing” with my dermatologist (who won’t do a skin scrape) that it is NOT bacterial. (“A significant feature of CPO is that no single case of fungal resistance has been reported so far, even though it was introduced into clinical therapy more than three decades ago….

I think this table summarizes most of it.In other words, if you have pathogenic malassezia avoid anything that has fatty acids with problematic carbon chain lengths (11-24). reported that high concentration of Tween 20 inhibited the growth of M. sympodialis despite low concentration of that promoted the growth.In other words, the dose makes the poison. (And last but not least, squalene protects against UV radiation-induced oxidative stress (i.e. I had 2 things under sever- chlorine and fluoride. The Malassezia globosa is a yeast that belongs to the kingdom of the fungi, specifically to the genus Malassezia of which experts currently know ten different species. It is possible that the ionic surfactant negatively influences the growth of this species, and therefore no growth was observed. are opportunistic pathogens that can be found on the skin as normal microbiota. Here’s all that info again.Turns out that malassezia species can grow with esters, but it depends on what fatty acids and alcohols are present in those esters.For example, 96 hour culture testing revealed that Moreover, some alcohols are worse than others. I know it’s terrible to switch skincare products frequently, but it feels like nothing works on my skin and I’m starting to question everything I use.

I once heard Plato had glowly skin. It tests for food intolerances, chemicals, medicine, herbs, preservative intolerances.

If the bumps light in coral-orange-red color, its bacterial acne, if they are blue-white-yellow its yeast. However, that does not mean it won’t cause problems.
A carboxylic acid structure will be more polar and that changes its solubility and other related properties.The solubility properties of cetyl alcohol and palmitic acid are fairly different, so while I am not by any means certain because skin chemistry is complicated — there are a lot of factors involved, like buffers and enzymes on top of the more simple, straight organic chemistry stuff we’re covering here — I’d hazard a guess that cetyl alcohol would not be a feasible substitute [for malassezia].”“Unexpectedly, the growth of some Malassezia spp., especially M. furfur, was observed in the presence of a primary fatty alcohol, cetylstearyl alcohol…. Be especially cautious of palmitic and oleic acid.

I’ll update on whether or not it breaks me out.It’s very easy to self-diagnose quickly whether you have bacterial or yeast acne.

Greetings!! The bumps are not as inflamed and a lot of the itchiness has subsided. My acne is gone and all my scalp problems are gone.In regards to foundation, I’ve seen a couple of gripes here about people being forced to blend shades or suffer through less cosmetically elegant formulas. And what I used personally to treat my fungal acne with the great success.I haven’t found any specific research on inhibitory powers of sulfur on malassezia, but I’m 100% sure it works especially because many people have reported success with it online.Sulfur is a keratolytic (sloughs off dead skin), which promotes the shedding of fungus from the stratum corneum. Until now, the results of the metabolism of fatty alcohols by Malassezia were not known. (And lastly, there was a case study of a 21 year old female with malassezia folliculitis who cured herself after 10 days of applying 2.5% selenium sulfide cream for 10 minutes.
