Fungal acne. Candida. The acne that doesn't seem to go away. I started getting yeast acne 6 years ago. It has been the most frustrating thing to explain to my friends, family, doctors, and skincare teachers. Ultimately there has been so many informative blogs and research regarding treating it that I want to thank everyone.
But, if there was something I learned and could add is that fungal acne is not just in the form of closed comedones, it's also in the form of pin-sized whiteheads especially around the mouth (digestive inflammation). I don't usually see many pictures of my type of fungal acne online, but I've started seeing it on women (especially) in person!
Mine became worse and worse every year even though I incorporated topical antifungals (tea tree, GSE, pyrithione zinc, nizoral, etc.) Into my skincare routine. I ditched the products that fed m. Fur fur. I have detoxed, candida dieted, used high quality probiotics which DID manage it, which is how I always knew it was fungal, but there was always at least one fungal clog. I by no means have conquered fungal acne. But in case this wasn't an obvious offender to some-
GET OFF BIRTH CONTROL. Hormonal birth control, that is... (use condoms lol)
I made excuses to stay on synthetic hormones, but the havoc it creates is almost like taking a daily low dose antibiotic!
I stayed on the pill for years, knowing that it was a huge candida culprit, but I continued anyways. I'm sure everyone has read how high levels of estrogen in BCP (birth control pills) creates an estrogen dominance- the perfect environment for yeast. So I don't want to go into too much detail with that.
But on the subject of BCP's, I get so frustrated when women say "well I don't see side effects it helps me"... Ultimately BCPs are shutting off our natural hormones (the ones that our body chooses for it's homeostasis) and creates an imbalance. Synthetic horomones do not have the same ability or intelligence to operate and connect with it's other bodily functions (i.e. does not connect to the proper brain receptors) creating anxiety, depression, etc. Some researchers have said that we will look back on the overuse of birth control pills one day as a medical distater.
Some ppl may disagree, but I guess I'm very excited to finally be off of the pill and let my body function as it was intended to. I will continue to supplement with Probiotics, and I'm very hopeful that there is nothing creating the problem (besides when my doctor prescribes me antibiotics) anymore. I'm going to figure out how to post my skin pictures shortly!
Has anyone else figured out any major candida revelations that have helped them?
