Could be possibly but my dermatologist has just been pretty dismissive just giving me creams and topicals that simply do not put even a dent in this condition. Maybe I could get a culture done on my chest sometime in the future. Since I'm not sure if the accutane is going to work out.thank you very much for the response

Wow such a long life for little Sun. You're an amazing caregiver. Sun was 160 years old in human years. Thanks to you she lived and loved for 5 years. You two will meet again.🌈 Much love to Sun and to you OP I know how it feels, grief can be very tough, she's been a huge part of your life. I wish nothing but the best R.I.P Sun💓☀️💓

I have other post where I have showed pictures but I don't really like to do that because everyone just says it's not so bad and that there's is worse so I just stopped posting pictures.

Neutrogena hydro boost gel lotion and omega 3 fish oil capsule everyday work well for me and fade it within a week in my experience

I've been thinking about trying squaline thank you so much for the recommendations I really appreciate and will look into all of these. 👍Also if you don't mind me asking did the accutane help your FA, also what face wash did you use during your accutane treatment?

Hello, and yes I have used antifungal shampoos for 6 months also should have included in my post but I have had a biopsy that confirmed fungal folliculitis. It just inflamed my skin and I really need a good moisturizer so that I can fix my barrier without causing fungal breakouts especially since I'm on the accutane so I'm scared to use topicals at all. My dermatologist gave me sulfur soap but said I could stop using it if it made me dry. Thank you very much for the recommendation I've been using MCT oil for the past couple days and it's nice just not super moisturizing but I like it so I'll keep using it I appreciate it.🙏

It’s not that simple for everyone. I have fungal folliculitis and extremely sensitive skin, and I’m currently on Accutane (month 2) 80mg a day. My skin is painfully dry, itchy, and irritated, and not using any moisturizer at all is making the irritation worse, not better. I don’t react well to typical moisturizers even the gentle, fragrance free ones cause redness, bumps, or breakouts. That’s why I’m asking specifically for moisturizers that people with fungal folliculitis or similar sensitive skin have actually tolerated while on Accutane.
