Fungal acne, also known as pityrosporum folliculitis, typically appears as small, uniform bumps that are usually red, itchy, and can sometimes be slightly raised. They can resemble traditional acne or pimples but tend to be smaller in size and often grouped closely together. Fungal acne is caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the skin and may not respond to typical acne treatments, so it’s important to consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
