> What is acne, and how do fungal and bacterial acne differ? Fungal and bacterial organisms are normal inhabitants of our skin. Just like our gut microflora, the skin microbiome is very important, complex and not well-understood (copyright Dr. Amin ;-) ). Acne is an inflammatory reaction against the contents of your hair follicles which include keratin, sebum, and bacteria/fungus. Whether or not the organisms are the cause or just bystanders in the acne is debated by doctors and scientists. It is my clinical experience that when the balance between bacteria and fungus (yeast, specifically) is disturbed, a skin rash such as acne or rosacea often develops. Helping to restore the balance by reducing the bacterial or fungal presence helps a lot. Sometimes, just reducing the inflammation around a pimple restores the bacterial and fungal balance. That's what a cortisone shot from your dermatologist can do without antibiotics or antifungals.
