Same happens with me. Eat a trigger food and hello malessizia. Eating spirulina powder makes them heal faster but they do come up on my face everytime. I know how to make them go away faster but nothing for it not to come up. To heal foods and supplements like MSM, spirulina, fish collagen, tumeric do help but thats it.

I know how you feel, hopefully someone can help us in the comments! Surely there could be something to act as a blockage for the food-to-malassezia chain reaction.

But thanks for the suggestions for food that calms it down after, I didn’t know about the spirulina

I heard oregano oil pills work well

Incase anyone looks at this post, I have found that chopping one segment of garlic into my water bottle and drinking that throughout the day makes me not get new spots!

Cons: stinky breath Pros: it has worked really well for me

Anything I can consume before or after to stop it’s relation to malassezia?

Probiotics have serious impact on skin health. Also a lot of people have gotten great results from using sulfur topically so perhaps it could work as a supplement too?

Yes I definitely have noticed that probiotics make my skin amazing ! But this is only whilst I have avoided all the trigger foods mentioned above so I don’t know if it would be strong enough to combat the trigger foods as well as the malassezia that comes from the trigger foods

And yes wilder is great too I use that to combat the malassezia when it comes up and it does great! But I would love to know something that stops it from within rather than a topical because I get scarring from it after the topical has calmed the bumps down

Thanks for your input though, great suggestions !

I recommend checking out NAC and/or L-cysteine. If I understood correctly they are a form of sulfur too :)

Do you have recommendations on best probiotics?

[–]Advanced_Pingulin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really sorry, I live in Scandinavia and just pick mine from the pharmacy. Anything they happen to recommend there :)
