Korean Fungal Acne Safe Skincare Products

Fungal acne, also known as pityrosporum folliculitis, is a type of acne that is caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the skin. The yeast responsible for fungal acne is called Malassezia, which is normally present on the skin but can overgrow in certain conditions.

Unlike traditional acne, which is caused by bacteria, fungal acne is caused by a specific type of yeast that feeds on the oils in the skin. This overgrowth can lead to the formation of small, itchy, red or white bumps that resemble acne. Fungal acne typically appears on the chest, back, and shoulders, but can also occur on the face.
