How to kill Pityrosporum

The most common disease caused by Pityrosporum is folliculitis. Women aged 30 are more likely to get the disease, which will appear on the back, chest, neck, face and shoulders, accompanied by itching or tingling, burning and other sensations. Folliculitis not only makes patients feel uncomfortable, but also has a very bad impact if the location is obvious. Treatment is what patients are most concerned about. So, how to kill Pityrosporum? Let’s take a look below.

Clinical manifestations

Diffuse, symmetrical, dense but non-fused dome-shaped red follicular papules on the back, chest and shoulders. Some are follicular pustules, and sometimes powdery substances can be squeezed out. The skin between the rashes is normal, and the surface of the rash is not covered with scales or seborrheic substances.

Diagnostic Methods

Use a lancet to scrape off the follicular papule, drop a drop of 50% Parker ink and 10% potassium hydroxide solution, cover with a glass slide, warm slightly, and examine directly under a microscope or an oil microscope. If you see round or oval spores with thick walls or banana-shaped hyphae with blue reflection in the center, it is clear that there is Pityrosporum.
