How Malassezia infection is caused

There are many genera of Malassezia, but usually Malassezia is a normal colonizing bacteria of the skin and does not cause disease. When the skin barrier is damaged, or when the patient’s immunity is reduced, combined with bacterial or viral infections, the number of Malassezia species and bacteria can increase significantly, leading to pathogenic skin disease. The common form of Malassezia folliculitis, which grows on the neck and chest and back, is a hemispherical papule with small pus spots on the trunk or on the site of the disease. If you are suffering from Malassezia folliculitis, you should wash your clothes in time, especially in summer to clean your cooler and other clothes. In addition, you can use topical naftifine ketoconazole cream or luliconazole cream for treatment and try to keep the skin dry to reduce recurrence.
