GBFolliculitis Scout - Life saver Well ill try to keep this short. I am 39 years young and had an allergic reaction to an antibiotic in Nov 2020. Because of this had to take Steroids. Well this messed up my body/immune system. I got oral thrush and then in March 2021 got fungal acne bad on my forehead. I googled it and actually found the Simple Skin Science website first ad freaked out and called my Derm who was already treating my allergic reactions. She at first said it wasn't FA before seeing me and i insisted on an appointment. When she saw me she immediately prescribed Keto 2% cream. I used this for from march until end of june 2 times a day and then now only use 1 time a week to make sure it doesnt come back. With that being said i used Folliculitis scout regularly to change all of my products! Yes everything i use on my face to shampoo and conditioner as well. I now after stopping Keto daily am on tretinoin 0.01% to clear my regular acne after ruling out it wasnt FA and we had gotten rid of all of it. Folliculitis scout helped me determine the Tret was FA safe and answer all kinds of questions i had pertaining to FA that my Derm would not answer. Basically i got RX form Derm and advise from Folliculitis scout. Infact the simpleskinsciece web site was helpful but a little misleading and that website does not respond to you questions so if i hadnt found Folliculitis scout i would have been lost and made wrong decisions on products. It was a very hard thing to deal with FA and definitely made me self conscious so hang in there if you are going through it and use Folliculitis scout. I will continue to use them to check meds and products :)

NPAmazing platform for the information regarding Fungal Acne/Malassezia Folliculitis This is the one of the best platform that I have ever found in the the internet regarding Fungal Acne/Malassezia Folliculitis. After reading their multiple blog posts related to Fungal Acne, I replaced several products in my skincare routine and can see much improvement already in my skin. Also, their ingredients checker tool is very handy.
