Fungal acne, also known as pityrosporum folliculitis, typically presents as small, itchy, red or skin-colored bumps on the skin. These bumps can look similar to traditional acne, but they are caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the skin rather than bacteria. Fungal acne is commonly found on the chest, back, shoulders, and sometimes on the face. It is important to consult a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment if you suspect you may have fungal acne.
