Dr. Sugai Explains: Back Acne and “Fungal Acne”- How to Prevent Folliculitis on the Body

Happy Halloween and happy start to November! In this video, I discuss a highly requested topic- body acne which encompasses back and buttocks acne (“backne” and “buttne”) or the technical term being "folliculitis." I previously made a dance video on the topic which had great feedback on my other social media channels given that it affects males and females but I will elaborate on it here. I will discuss lifestyle changes to help with this as well as preferred cleansers to help decrease chances of developing inflammation of the follicles (folliculitis) including benzoyl peroxide and the BHA Salicyclic acid. I will also touch on “fungal acne” which is not a formal term in dermatology. The technical term is Malassezia folliculitis and is not a very common condition but I will discuss it in the second half of the video. Thank you for the support on my channel as well as IG and TikTok! Spread love and not hate! Peace!
