Acne Vulgaris vs. Fungal Acne: A Tale of Two Skin Troubles
Traditional acne is quite a notorious character in the world of skin issues. But did you know that not all acne is created equal? That's right, acne comes in different types, and understanding their differences is crucial in managing them effectively. So, let's take a moment to break down the battle of the blemishes: Acne Vulgaris vs. Fungal Acne.
Acne Vulgaris – a name that sounds as bad as it can feel. This is your 'typical regular acne' – the kind that's usually linked to puberty or hormonal changes but can stick around well into adulthood. This acne type is caused by excess oil (sebum) production, bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes), clogged pores from dead skin cells, and inflammation. From blackheads and whiteheads to those nasty deep, painful cysts, acne vulgaris covers a wide spectrum of skin woes.
On the other side of the ring, we have Fungal Acne. It's deceptive because, technically, it's not acne at all. Its scientific name is Malassezia Folliculitis or Pityrosporum Folliculitis. Instead of being caused by oil and bacteria, fungal acne is caused by an overgrowth of yeast (Malassezia) – a type of fungus. This yeast is a natural part of our skin's microbiome, but problems arise when it grows too wild. The result? Small, itchy, uniform bumps often occur on the forehead, chest, and back targeting people with oily skin. The fungal acne breakouts happen when this little bugger decides to party too hard.
