Fungal Acne vs. Closed Comedones Part 1 #shorts

How to tell once and for all if the bumps on your face are what the Internet calls fungal acne, AKA pyrisporin folliculitis or closed comedones. I'm a board certified dermatologist and number one has nothing to do with the look but all to do with the feel. Fungal acne tends to be itchy, whereas closed comedones are pretty much asymptomatic. They're just lying on your face like barnacles. Number two, when we're talking about fungal acne up here versus comedones down here, fungal acne tends to be equal size size. Tiny little bumps around hair follicles. Now you might say, what the hell is she talking about? This looks the same. It does not look the same. Here the sizes are not so equal, but when you look closely into the bumps, really closely into the bumps, you'll notice that there are tiny little blackheads. These are open comedones and the ones that are not open are closed comedones and they vary in size. This one is much bigger than that one.
