Pityrosporum Folliculitis Kit

What is Pityrosporum Folliculitis?

• Pityrosporum folliculitis is a type of acne caused by a skin yeast called Pityrosporum (also called Malassezia). This yeast is normal on your skin, but sometimes it overgrows what’s healthy and causes acne.
• The pimples and clogged pores occur mostly on the upper trunk in young-to-middle-age adults, along the hairline of the neck and forehead, and along the jaw. 
• Skin shows tiny 1-2mm flesh-colored bumps (plugged pores), and bright red pimples and pustules which sometimes itch and hurt.

This normal little skin yeast will raise havoc with your complexion if left on its own.  

My proven treatment strategy for treating Pityrosporum folliculitis covers all the important ways to fight this type of acne.

Facial acne treatment products that work for Pityrosporum folliculitis including:

• Foaming Acne Treatment Cleanser: Pores are kept clean with just the right amount of salicylic acid and glycolic acid in the Foaming Acne Treatment Cleanser when your wash each morning.
• Calming Zinc: Pityrosporum yeast is discouraged when you wash with Calming Zinc Soap every night because it is fortified with a full 2% pyrithione zinc.
• Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Cream: The acne causing P. acnes bacteria that can accompany the Pityrosporum yeast in aggravating this form of acne is treated with benzoyl peroxide in my BP Treatment Cream. You can either spot treat pimples or treat acne-prone areas of your face by applying my BP Cream twice daily.
• Daily Face Cream for Normal to Oily Skin: Your skin stays healthy and free from dryness when you balance skin hydration with oil free Daily Face Cream for Normal to Oily Skin.

Add back, chest and scalp acne fighting products that are tough enough to penetrate thicker back and chest skin – a common place for Pityrosporum folliculitis. These include:

• Foaming Zinc Cleanser is a foaming cleanser that can be used on hairy skin of the scalp and makes a perfect foaming back and chest wash. Medicated with a full 2% pyrithione zinc. 
• Foaming Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser is medicated with the maximal amount of benzoyl peroxide allowed (10%), which helps to unclog pores and treat the P. acnes germ that can also play a role in Pityrosporum folliculitis along with the yeast.
• Salux Exfoliating Shower Cloth is handy for applying these medicated cleansers to your back and chest. The exfoliating action of the cloth helps the medicated cleansers better penetrate into skin and keep pores open. 

Alternate the two cleansers when you shower and rinse off knowing that you’re stepping out of the shower with a therapeutic layer of acne fighting ingredients on your skin to counter the Malassezia yeast, P. acnes and clogged pores that all conspire to cause Pityrosporum acne.

Prevent the hyperpigmented acne ‘scars’ that commonly happen from Pityrosporum folliculitis by sun protecting your skin every day.

The best sunscreen to prevent post inflammatory hyperpigmented acne scars from Pityrosporum folliculitis is Sheer Strength Pure Physical Mineral Sunscreen because it is light weight on your skin, oil free and won't clog pores. It will help prevent premature skin aging too such as fine lines and wrinkles along with the hyperpigmented acne marks. 

Kit includes:

Foaming Acne Treatment Cleanser: Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid combine to help keep pores clean to prevent the small flesh colored bumps and pimples of Pityrosporum folliculitis.

Calming Zinc Soap: a natural soap fortified with pyrithione zinc, known to discourage the growth of the Malassezia yeast.

Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Treatment Cream: with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide – the sweet spot in acne treatment – enough to reduce Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne, but a gentle level for sensitive skin. Alcohol and oil free too!

Daily Moisturizing Face Cream: the perfect face moisturizer to keep skin healthy so that it can heal. Oil free and popular with my acne prone patients. Good for all skin types.

Sheer Strength Pure Physical Spray Sunscreen SPF 50+: the ideal sunscreen for face, neck, back and chest UV protection to prevent the “PIH” uneven skin hyper pigmentation so common from Pityrosporum folliculitis.
