Everything You Need to Know About Fungal Acne, According to a Dermatologist

Again, fungal acne can easily be mistaken for acne vulgaris, but a good way to differentiate between the two is just paying attention to how the condition behaves. Fungal acne is usually itchy, and it doesn't respond to topical or oral antibiotics. If your acne isn't responding or improving after the use of traditional acne medications, you should make an appointment with a dermatologist (who can perform a skin test in-office) and consider the possibility of your acne being a result of a fungus.
