[Acne] if you have back-acne that is not responding to anti-bacterials, it might be fungal

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Try rubbing head-and-shoulders or pyrithione zinc soap on it.I had been struggling with persistent back-acne for the past 2-3 years, and nothing helped it (benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, cold showers, changing sheets, etc). Literally one treatment from a pyrithione zinc soap bar cleared 50%+ of it overnight.Only use it up to twice a week because it will really dry your skin out. My derm said it was common in people who run and workout a lot.Guys: I wash my facial and chest hair once a week with it and now I rarely get acne there. I have continued using my regular antibacterials (clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide) in conjunction with the fungal treatment.Mechanism: (med student) When you use anti-bacterials consistently, you reduce the #'s of good and bad bacteria; which normally prevent fungus from taking over just by being present on your skin. With those bacteria reduced, the fungus has a chance to grow and cause irritation and infection.
