i came to say that Nizoral works! after i stopped taking birth control pills, my forehead was full of small little red bumps and no matter what i did, they wouldn’t go away. i applied the Nizoral as a face mask on my skin and left it on for about 5 mins every other day for a week and those bumps haven’t come back. it’s been a year
update: it’s been over 2 years and the bumps haven’t returned 💗
Hey there do you use the pink version ? I’m in the uk and that’s what’s mostly available
@@ann-marie808 hi, the one i used was the blue bottle! but as long as it contains ketoconazole it will work xx
hey girl , so I have like little red bumps on my cheeks do you think it would also work for that?
@@elianalopez7943 i would give it a shot :)
Which moisturizer did you use ?
Thank you so much Dr. Dray for making this video! Especially in this hot summer months, malasezzia flares up more. Really appreciate this so much.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining the science behind skin care. You are a lovely lady who is very generous with your time and knowledge. You rock!
Oh my goodness I believe this is what I have! Definitely not on my face, but elsewhere. Everything you explained, makes sense to me. Thank you Dr Dray! Also I love your earrings 💕
Wow, someone commented yesterday hoping for a video like this. I linked one from a year ago for them, hopefully they see this today. Thanks for the content and hope you, your mom and Tybee have a great week.
👍🏼👍🏼
Heck, that could have been me. Haha She is amazing.
Thank you for explaining this so well. I had never heard of the yeast before listening to your vids.
❤️ CZcams's Best Dermatologist❤️🎉😀 🎉 A big Thank You from all of us. 🎊
Love you discussions of ingredients and pathophysiology, so interesting
Ever since the Paula’s Choice BHA was reformulated to now contain polysorbates (a well-known malessezia trigger) it really triggers my fungal acne, so be careful with that one.
Yea, a few years ago I was trying to love it and kept buying it until I realized like- I was just breaking out terribly. It was back to good ol (& cheap ol) stridex pads
👀😮👍
It sure does! I stay away. Left my forehead in tiny bumbs. You should try cosrx bha/aha toner or just the bha toner.
whoa whoa what I just ordered some of this off their website because of all the youtubers raving about it. some of the videos were over a year old yes. damn. have to look into this. Edit: Back from my research. Time to cancel Paulas Choice BHA. You are correct. That triggers all acne not just fungal.
I started getting little bumps suddenly and tried using the Paula’ choice BHA but it’s not going away and I just saw this comment.
Thank you so much for all the info! I've been dealing with such itching on my face today was simply unbearable! So happy I found your video! I have the
Cera Ve SA face wash, not sure why I haven't been using it, do I brought it out, washed my face ahhhhh, then I went out to Walgreens and bought the Cera Ve SA lotion for rough and bumpy skin, a little burning but then ahhhhh! Thank you 🙏🏽
The amount of flare ups I’ve had of this... not actually knowing what it was and thinking it was some kind of rash.. thank you SO much for making this video. After years I finally know what I’m dealing with and how to treat it
Any updates? I'm treating the fungal acne on my back for 5 days with Pristine & Canesten, and have seen about 5-10% improvement.
Hey Dr Dray I just wanted to thank you for helping clear up my horrible acne. It has been a year since I watched this video and I have been using zinc soap as well as paula’s liquid exfoliant. I have been getting a lot of compliments on my skin, thank you!
So good to see some gentler options like the bar soap, and I had no idea salicylic acid could work for fungal acne!
YAAAAAAAS
I really appreciate you covering that antibiotics can cause overgrowth and mess with microbiome. If I could have a dollar for every time someone told me to get on antibiotics for fungal acne ... I'd have my antifungal regimen paid for!
You are the best science teacher I’ve ever had. You really make learning this subject so accessible, for me especially - a below average science student. Thank you, Dr. Dray. ❤
I’m so glad I decided to watch this. My husband has been on a low dose antibiotic for his rosacea. Now he has acne in his back. Thank you!!
Loving your color 🥰, and always useful content. I must say all your recommendations I have purchased, tried and true. Thank you so much for all of your posts. I don't know how you do it, you are full of knowledge. Thank you again 💜.
Hi Dr. Dray! Thank you for all of the information! Could you review the new skincare brand Malezia? I am still so confused by this topic
Does glycolic acid help with fungal acne or just salicylic? Super helpful and informative as well! I was about to order a haul of "fungal acne safe" products!
Love those gorgeous Pink earrings of yours, never seen you wearing such earrings before. They look so gorgeous on you Doctor👌🏽
You look soo beautiful Dr Dray, loving the pink look on you! 😍🙌🏻
Dr Dray, please discuss thoroughly laser hair removal. Best lasers and cooling mechanisms, how many % of hair is removed and for how long, is an eye disease for instance a contradication?
Love and appreciate your content!! This video was so helpful!! :)
If you can, can you PLEASE provide a video on morning and night time skin care for fungal acne ?🤍🤍
Could you do a video on redness on hands and the bottoms of feet, and how to get rid of it? As well as getting rid of corns? My feet need a glow-up 🦶
Loved the video! Which product would u recommend if you are using differin gel?
Thank you for your super helpful vids!!
I would also love to eradicate the term “non-comedogenic”!! 🥴
I believed that one for so long until I realized there were MANY ingredients that can moisturize and my skin cannot tolerate any type of extra oils...only oil-free products for me now!!
Thank you for explaining that there is no such thing as fungal acne safe!
Thank you I've been waiting for this.
Dermadoctor makes a zinc pyrithione face wash I never hear anyone talk about. It is fragrance free.
Thank you so much for taking about "fungal acne safe" I thought I wouldn't be able to use so many products thanks to the internet telling me 95% of products not being safe. Dr Dray is the hero we need when it comes to debunking myths!
Happy Tuesday Dr. Dray!
Hey Dr Dray! Happy Tuesday I have been binge watching your videos all day 😅
Happy Tuesday
Thank you for recommending great products that work.
I love the Dr. Eddie’s Happy Cappy Shampoo! It has Zinc Pyrithione and is meant for scalp and body for children so it’s really gentle, no fragrance either. It works every time I get “fungal acne” or dandruff
thanks for sharing! i have seen that in Walgreens, but forgot about it....it is a great option!
Looove that stuff. That's what I personally used for FA, redness, and hyperpigmentation. It helped tremendously!!
@@DrDrayzday can we use it on back acne?
Thanks for your reccomendation....I was wondering what I could get for my 13 yr old!
@@c-mcm3130 how many times a day did you use it ? Also everyday ?
Thank you Dr Dray. I girmly believe that I got it after constantly wearing a face mask during Covid. I never even had acne as a teenager, but now have these stubborn clusters of small bumps on my forehead and chin. I am eager to try one of the recommended products. Love your informative videos
Doctor! Could you please do a hair care review on the Briogeo Don’t despair repair shampoo and conditioner line? I know you went to Sephora and talked about it a little bit, but I would really appreciate a thorough review. I just purchased a kit and I’m about to return it because I keep seeing mixed things. Yours is the only opinion I genuinely trust. Plus it’s such a hot ticket item right now, I’m sure it would bring in a lot of new viewers. Thank you 💕
Hello doc! That was really very helpful! I have a question, isn’t Azelaic acid helpful too for getting of the fungal acne
I just bought another Nizoral 2% from my pharmacy last week for me and my father to use. We both have SD. I almost went for the Selenium sulfide, to try again, but read the note that said it might discolor white hair, and I have a sprinkling of white throughout my hair, and my dad is 74 so almost has no color left. :)
Great video as per usual! And cute earrings!
thanks!
Loving the pink outfit - a very watermelon vibe 🍉
Thanks
So pretty 😍
I've been using Paula's choice salicylic acid exfoliant for regular acne since January and, amongst all the other changes, I've noticed I don't have fungal acne in my forehead anymore! Thank you for your videos, I've learnt so much from you ❤
Currently using this twice a week but my bumps have turned into breakouts, did this happen to you and should I continue ? I have read a purge is normal
Hi , it works on my forehead but not my cheeks. How do you treat your cheeks please? Thanks
I'm on meds for mast cell activation disorder but my doc isn't very knowledgeable regarding skincare haha. I'm finding I'm breaking out with eczema, herpes simplex and possibly fungal acne across my forehead lately, probably because of my numerous meds. I've bought nizoral and tolerate it so hopefully that will help for my forehead.
Looking so beautiful today, your skin is amazing! X
Hi dr. Dray, hope you are well! Love your videos, was wondering if you have ever tried instanaturals skin care products? If so, could you possibly do a review for them?
Nizoral 2% is OTC in Belgium, it's not in regular drugstores though, you do have to get it from a pharmacy counter. We just don't have the 1% on the market here. So if it's not too bad (my SD) then I just use Head & Shoulders instead. And thanks to your tip of letting it sit a while before rinsing it actually works. Makes sense, you let the Nizoral sit too, right? :)
So I’m an infectious disease nurse practitioner, I had been breaking out and kept putting differin on my skin… it took me months to pay attention to the fact that it was probably fungal! I had some clotrimazole ointment and tried it one night just as an experiment and the next day my breakouts on my cheek were like 50% better! Insane. I don’t know dermatology well but am learning through your videos! I think the culprit was a very heavy CC cream I was using + wearing a mask all day
Omg... I have extremely dry skin and wear very heavy facial moisturizer AND I wear a mask all day... it started last summer and went away in October. Went to a derm 3 times for oral and topical steroids... it didnt help when I completed the treatment. Finally I used triple paste zinc oxide. Not the "rash" is back!!
Would the spray you recommend for after workouts help prevent this issue?
Greetings Dr. Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Tuesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid.... thanks n Greatly Appreciate u 4 Educating us about Fungal Acne n the Ingredients that can Help Aid it🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜....
What do you think of adding probiotic supplements to control skin issues ? Yes, no ? And thank you for your teachings.
Omg you look amazing in this color!!!
What spf product do you recommend when working in treating fungal acne ? My son is 14 and dealing with this on his back, upper arms, lower neck and throughout his face.
Dr Dray, can you do a review on Niod RE: Pigment? I have saw good reviews on this help hyper-pigmentation and this more effective than those from Ordinary (like Alpha Aributin or vitamin C). But it seems no one on CZcams can explain how this RE: Pigment works and what are all the ingredients in it.
Thank you so much. There’s SO MUCH misinformation being peddled to mallesezia folliculitis and Seb derm patients by skincare manufacturers. Your jaw would DROP. As always, great content! ❤️
Interesting ....pictures would be so helpful to see
If no one has told you today Dr. Dray let me be the first...I appreciate you.
Ohyesss
Hello, thank you for your informational videos! Can the Nizoral be used periodically on the body to prevent tinea versicolor from coming back? (I have prescription medication but it always come back!)
I use the Z-bar for face and have oily skin. It’s great and does not strip oils away and makes my face feel soft. This helps reduce inflammation with my acne - reduced fungal acne but still attain regular acne. I choose this product over high end items that I’ve used in the past. I also use the head and shoulders for hair.
How often do u use it ?
I have been using your suggestions Dr Dray for 4 months now and have never felt so confident and beautiful! I use the Nizoral shampoo on my face about 3-4 times a week. I lather it on, leave for 5 minutes and rinse. I do this after a cleanse with Cereve Hydrating Cleanser. Afterwards I use the Clotrimazole 1% and the little bumps and itching are gone! I only need to use the Clotrimazole and Nizoral during a breakout of irritating itchiness. I have had 2 bouts of fungal acne in 4 months and that is probably due to the humid weather we have been having. I am SO grateful to you sharing your knowledge and expertise. THANK YOU!
How bad was your fungal acne before?
Thank you for this information!!!!❤
Great video! Would these products help with hidradenitis suppurativa too?
I think pink suits her so well, it makes her look youthful, glowy , energetic and super pretty. It honestly makes her look really healthy. 💜 like I’ve actually never been able to figure out her age because she’s so intelligent and sophisticated but she looks super youthful at the same time. Does anyone know her age lol?
1) can Paula’s choice bha 2% be used as leave on for scalp psoriasis? And 2) can you please do a video specific to ringworm?
I remember watching a video you did, a while back, about fungal acne. It was when I was dealing with it, myself! I was SO desperate to find SOMETHING to make it go away. Then I found your video and I started washing my face with my husband’s anti-dandruff shampoo and applying lotrimin, afterwards, to the affected area. I noticed a difference almost immediately upon doing that! It took about 2 weeks for it to clear up completely... and the anti-dandruff shampoo was pretty drying on my skin (aloe Vera gel really helped a lot to soothe and moisturize)... but I was SO thankful to have found your video because that is the ONLY thing that I tried that actually worked to completely heal my fungal acne! 😊❤️
glad to hear it helped
I know this comment was from a year ago but if you can remember, how often did you use the anti dandruff shampoo? I started using mine once every other day then stepped it up to every day for the past two weeks and there was a slight change but it suddenly got worse even though I haven't changed any of my products.
@@lindsaygutierrez4012 I used it just once a day because it was severely drying on my dry, sensitive skin. But that in combination with the Lotrimin (or whatever brand antifungal cream you prefer… just compare the ingredients with lotrimin to see if it is the same active ingredient and that should be fine.) doing both of those things together is what REALLY helped so much!! Using just the dandruff shampoo alone wouldn’t heal it super quickly. Adding the anti-fungal cream to the affected areas after using the dandruff shampoo will help you SO so much!!! Even applying the the anti-fungal cream several times a day if you’re not wearing makeup. That’s what worked the best for me! I know you must be going through hell right now so I do hope that helps you in some way and I hope that you are able to get some relief soon!!!
Hi, did you get them again?
i’m going through the same thing right now. i use head and shoulders shampoo in the AM & then use Lotrimin cream afterwards.
is it safe to use sunscreen on top of the Lotrimin cream? I really don’t want to go in the sun without sunscreen. I’m specifically using ISDIN eryfotona ageless (the tinted one).
would you recommend the cerave sa lotion for the face as a nighttime moisturizer?
Have you tried out Eva naturals vitamin c plus serum? Seems to be popular for maskne , wanted to see your thoughts on it
Thanks Dr Dray you are great!!!
Love you Dr. Dray you’re the best
Omg you've answered my prayers thank you. I think I'm suffering from this and I'm seeing a doctor on Saturday 😘❤️❤️❤️
Hope these tips help
Hi Dr Dray, will the Avobenzone in the Neutrogena Dry touch degrade if it comes in contact with zinc oxide from make up ?
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray..see you tomorrow x💙🤩
You look so fresh and springy!! ✨♥️
Thanks for sharing 😁 Hope you had a great Easter 🥚
Not along ago a dermatologist told me that I had two different conditions and some products can aggravate the other one. I have rosacea (very mild) and seborrheic dermatitis. For what i understod its the same yeast that provoques this type of acne. Now that i see its the same yeast 🤔it’s confusing ..... (i have very dry skin and still have this problem of SD on my brows 😞)
Thanks dr Dray for the educational info !!!! ☕️🌻
New subscriber, I would like to know which product for hipermentacion fungal acne safe
Thanks so much for this information dr. Dray! I truly learn a lot from your videos. There are so many misinformation out there about fungal acne especially about "fungal acne safe products". I live in a tropical climate and once people started to find out about fungal acne, everyone was searching for "fungal acne safe products" because they all thought they have fungal acne.
Fungal acne safe IS REAL. I highly suggest going to SimpleSkincareScience. It’s a blog, entirely free- chock to the brim with scientific information about malassezia. But malassezia yeast does in fact feed on certain ingredients in your routine- leading to more intense, more congested & more damaging breakouts
can i use the eucerin original healing cream for my fungal acne? it’s glycerin free but i’m pretty sure it’s meant for the body. glycerin triggers my FA so much but the other glycerin free mosturizers i’ve tried don’t really mosturize my face for that long.
Thank you, around my mouth when my beard grows out a bit, i get rash and bad dandruff from the affected area, after hot showers or sweating alot, or eating alot of sugar, I will try this routine out.
Happy Tuesday Dr dray and peeps ❤️ 🥳🥳🥳
Happy Tuesday
Sooo pretty! The pink earrings and top are stunning. 🤩 edit! And the nail polish. Dr Dray is poping today!
Thanks
I used to use head and shoulders and it aggravated my dandruff, but I started using nizoral and within a month my dandruff is completely gone
Hi Dr. Dray, would you please do a review on Cicapair Tiger Grass Color correcting treatment for people who suffer of acne?
Believe it or not but I can't get head and shoulders shampoo in my area. But I can buy Ketoconazole cream over the counter, I can't believe it. It's been 5 days and the left side of my forehead is smoothing for the first time! For anyone trying this, please wash your face afterwards because even though it is a cream, it made my forehead to have a little breakout. Thank you for sharing your insight dr dray! I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart :)
I understand your perspective regarding fungal acne safe ingredients and can appreciate your stance. However, for the last year I have used folliculitis scout to identify potentially aggravating ingredients in my skincare. I was bump and flake free for almost a year when I adhered to "FA safe" ingredients in my leave on products. Seems every product that works for me ends up being FA safe (using folliculitis scout). The ones that don't always have several FA aggravating ingredients. Seems like polysorbates and oils are the main offenders. Of course other factors exacerabate FA, but it is good to be aware of which substrate combinations you are applying to your skin and using these websites to help aid in selecting skincare that may aggravate your skin can be helpful. I can attest to the fact that not one FA safe product recommended by folliculitis scout has been a disappointment! I do know there are products here and there that might work even though they have FA aggravating ingredients, but I have to buy and try with caution.
Hi can you recommend some FA safe products you use
Thanks for your comment, it’s very precious ! I didn’t now folliculitis scout 😱
Dr. Dray could you make a video on celiac disease and acne?
You're a God sent, Doctora
Pink works well for you. So pretty!!
thanks!
First I had bumps around my nose, then irritation in nasolabial folds, then a crusty patch on my forehead that kept expanding. I'm so glad I found this video! Two days after using Nizoral on my face the patch on my forehead started to shrink and clear up. I had also experienced, for years, bumps that were diagnosed as rosacea. None of that since I started using Nizoral. As a bonus, the pores on my nose look smaller and blackheads are gone. I lather just a tiny drop of the Nizoral and wash the affected areas only.Don't think you can put it on your skin then lather it--I tried that and it almost blistered my skin. Also don't start out leaving the lather on your skin. Mine has cleared up without doing that--I rinse right away. THANKS, DR. DRAY!
Hello, just finished watching the "bleach bath" video. I commented there about my current Ring Worm condition, it's all over my body. I really want to start going back to the gym/working out without the fear of spreading it. I want to try the beach bath but not sure if it'll help remove this ring worm problem.
Thank you so much doctor 😍🔥
Dr.Dray, is there any way you would describe and review “the ordinary” skin care products? I am so happy I found you! Thank you for your honest and education. I will continue to take notes!!!! Xo
I have
@@DrDrayzday thank you! I just found your channel. I found it. Xo
Can you please talk about blackseed oil for acne? Does it work? I am actually breastfeeding and I heard that retinol might not be good for my face so please tell me whether blackseed oil can work as an alternative. I started using it and I am not sure whether my skin is purging or breaking out even though I see signs of purging like pustules and comodonea that turn into acne with a white in the middle.
What if you are going on a OTC retinol product for other reasons but you have fungal acne? Will it wind up helping it as well? I miss having a smooth surface on my forehead :(
Is there any relation to hormones or birth control and fungal acne? Like higher or lower estrogen affecting fungal acne?
I pray you reply back. I have severe folliculitis on my legs. It began last year around April of 2021. I shaved my legs and my legs literally had pimples all over them within three days. I was advised by my doctor to stop shaving, so I did. I prescribed numerous antibiotics but it still would come back even though I wasn't shaving. I started seeing a dermatologist because the itching was so bad, she prescribed me clindamycin gel and lotion, clobetasol, and minocycline pills. Even with all this and bathing with panoxyl, the bumps go away one week and then they come back. I guess my question to you is, why does this keep happening to me? I've been shaving since I was 13 I'm now 30, the issue started at 28/29. What's wrong with my legs? Will I be on these meds forever. My legs are severely scared. I was also given hydroquinone but I stopped using it because if I can't solve what's causing the bumps then there's no need to fix the scars only for them to keep coming back. Any advice would be greatly appreciated❤
So can I use non-"fungal acne safe" moisturizers, if I'm using nizoral??
I'm struggling to find a moisturizer for my oily skin with fungal acne.
Is Cerave Baby Moisturizing Cream good for oily skin for face?
Hi, does bleaching facial hair affect the skin negatively?
Speaking of fungal acne safe, can you please talk about all the buzz involving coconut oil and tea tree oil...it seems every person affected with this condition thinks these products will heal them, it’s all over Amazon, etc. I try to steer them in the right direction but they fall for the marketing.
Hi can I ask if sulfur’s work? What’s a good moisturizer after applying these products?
Would you recommend differin gel for fungal acne?
Came here to thank you. This video seems to have ended almost a year of problems. Briefly, my GP/family doctor and I DID come up with the right diagnosis, but unfortunately as non-derms, we didn't know precisely how to use it. And three dermatologists (!) thereafter gave incorrect diagnoses.
It also explains why everything dermatologists prescribed made it so much worse.
Sadly, I think this says GPs, patient instincts, and online influencer dermatologists may sometimes be superior to the practicing dermatology professionals.
I use nizoral under the breasts if I get a fungus and it works like a charm... My son has a gtube and i cleanse with zinc shampoo around the skin area and put a dab of zinc oxide as a barrier to acid and moisture. Ect. These products work great
