r/Fungalacne

I've been struggling with acne my whole life but it was clearly another condition mixed in with it. I took Roaccutane and my acne/comedones were crystal clear. After stopping Roaccutane, immediately after 2 weeks, pimples started appearing again, those weird ones I had before, although I see that I don't have my "regular acne". I'm wondering if this could be fungal acne that hasn't been resolved because I've been using the wrong routine thinking I just have acne? The dermatologist isn't sure and I don't know what to do. My skin is extremely itchy, itchy, very oily, and I have some flakes along with the oiliness. Although it may not be visible in the pictures, my entire face is full of tiny bumps that then merge and become inflamed on my face.

On top of battling sebderm (red patches, dandruff in beard line) my skin goes through cycles of battling very itchy dry skin on my body mainly my shoulders and back, when it gets really bad I’ll get fungal folliculitis everywhere I have hair present.

My symptoms all stim from internal issues lots of food sensitivity and digestive issues cause my outbreaks. Not what I apply topically for me less is better I don’t use body/face washes or anything the strips the skin barrier, My skin is hyper sensitive and doesnt retain moisture well. Things like beef, eggs, dairy, gluten are set it off . But I know there’s something else I’m missing wondering if it’s simply the carb total intake being to high even if its from clean sources.

If anyone on here suffers from similar symptoms with Malassezia yeast causing body rashes, folliculitis, itchy scalp, Tenea Versicolor Etc. Let me know and what your triggers you discovered are!

btw The pics were right after a shower so the blotchy red skin is at its worst.
