A thank you to this one person's experience with fungal acne [Personal]

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Sorry for the long post, this was such a revelation.A little over a month ago, I was casually scrolling through reddit and this one person's post on the SCA stood out. Fungal acne? What's that? Read through the post, then Googled it. Turns out it's something I've been dealing with for such a long time.It got to the point that I was embarrassed if my boyfriend saw me without make up, and I was ready to make a dermatologist appointment. I had all these Korean products I was using too. They felt great but none of them made the damn bumps go away. My face constantly itched too and made my break outs worse. I stopped using the Korean products and went to a basic facial cleaner (Clean & Clear). It kind helped with basic acne but not the tiny ones on the forehead. I even stopped putting on foundation and concealer to see if it'd help. Then I switched to the SkinActive Rose Facial Cleaner by Garnier because maybe I just had really sensitive skin, especially since it felt like everything else made me break out in some areas. It helped more than the first cleanser.Then I stumbled on that post and looked up products to use on my face. I settled on the Head & Shoulders Tea Tree shampoo. A week in, I didn't see much results but stuck with it. I used it twice a day along with the rose cleanser.A little over a month later, and my skin is almost 100% cleared up! I'm now only using the shampoo at night with the rose cleanser, and I'll use the rose cleanser in the morning after waking up. Sometimes I'll use a green tea facial moisturizer on my cheeks if they're feeling extra dry, but that's it. As far as make-up, I'm not even using foundation or anything (save for eye make-up).Now I'm sitting here wondering if and when I don't need the shampoo treatment after some time, but right now it's doing what I want it to do and that's what counts.So again, thanks to that one post. I don't remember who posted it, but it was life-changing. Also, thanks to those who continue to post about it. It's really annoying to deal with fungal acne, but I'm glad there are solutions out there to help with it. I wish I had taken before and after pics, but I hated taking pics where you could see my forehead.Do I need to post a routine?Morning: Wash face with SkinActive Rose Facial Cleanser Apply sunscreen if needed (Neutrogena)Evening: Wash with SkinActive Rose Facial Cleanser Wash with Head & Shoulders Tea Tree shampoo Apply Whamisa by Glow Studio Green Tea Moisturizer if needed
