Introduction
If you keep battling breakouts on your chest, back or shoulders — and nothing seems to work — you might be dealing with a type of acne that is often overlooked: fungal acne. While many treatments are focused on the face and bacterial acne, fungal acne behaves differently. In this post, we’re going to explain what fungal acne really is, how to identify it, and why the Truly Clear Acne Bar can be the one‑step solution that works where others don’t.

What Is Fungal Acne?
Fungal acne, medically known as Malassezia folliculitis or pityrosporum folliculitis, is not quite like “regular” acne. Curology+1
Unlike acne caused by bacteria and oil‑clogged pores, this is caused by an overgrowth of yeast (Malassezia) in hair follicles. The result? Many small, itchy uniform bumps—often on the upper back, chest, or arms—and standard acne treatments may fail. Pure Dermatology+1
Why Does Fungal Acne Happen?
Several factors create the perfect environment for fungal acne: sweat and moisture trapped under tight clothes, backpacks or straps causing friction, humid environments, or even antibiotics disrupting your skin’s natural balance. Artemis+1
Because the yeast thrives on certain oils and sebum, areas with high oil production and moisture are especially vulnerable. Dr. Michele Green M.D.
How to Tell If It’s Fungal Acne vs Regular Acne
-
The bumps tend to be uniform in size (1 – 2 mm) and often itchy. Pure Dermatology+1
-
They appear in clusters on the chest, back or shoulders—not so much as blackheads or whiteheads typical of bacterial acne.
-
Traditional acne treatments (e.g., benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics) have little to no effect—or may even worsen it. Westchester Center for Dermatology
If you suspect fungal acne, it’s worth checking with a dermatologist—but you can start adjusting your routine.
How the Truly Clear Acne Bar Helps When Others Don’t
The Truly Clear Acne Bar is designed to work across all acne types and body zones—including those prone to fungal acne.
Here’s why it’s different:
-
It’s one step: no complicated routine, just apply and rinse.
-
Works in under five minutes — ideal for trunk/back zones.
-
Plant‑based formulation with hydrating oils (coconut, sunflower) + hyaluronic acid, making it gentle yet effective.
Because fungal acne thrives in body zones with trapped moisture and high oil production, using a bar that cleanses thoroughly but gently—and can be used on chest/back/butt—is a smart match. And remember: all products ship daily from the USA; best value is always at trulyclear.com.
Pro Tips & Routine Adjustments for Fungal Acne
-
After sweaty activity, change out of tight or damp clothing.
-
Use the Acne Bar daily on affected zones—chest, back, shoulders—especially after workouts.
-
Avoid heavy creams or occlusive lotions on breakout‑prone areas; these can trap moisture and feed yeast.
-
Optionally, spot‑treat persistent bumps with hydrocolloid patches but maintain your base cleansing routine.
-
If you also have regular acne, keep your routine simple—one bar, one tool, fewer steps = greater consistency.
