Many acne treatments fail because of a single common mistake: misidentifying the type of breakout.

In the video Dr. Poonam Patil, a dermatologist at DermaSpace Clinic, explains the essential differences between standard acne and fungal acne to help you avoid treatments that could worsen your skin condition.

Regular Acne: This is a bacterial growth that manifests as blackheads, whiteheads, nodules, or pustules, and these lesions are typically painful.

Fungal Acne: This is an overgrowth of a yeast infection, often triggered by high humidity. It appears as uniform, tiny small bumps that are predominantly itchy. It commonly develops on the forehead, back, chest, and shoulders.

Treating fungal acne with standard bacterial acne medication can aggravate the skin and make the condition worse. If you experience itchy bumps, it is highly recommended to visit a dermatologist for a correct diagnosis.
