Abstract

Background: Malassezia folliculitis (MF) is a fungal acneiform condition commonly misdiagnosed as acne vulgaris. Malassezia folliculitis results from overgrowth of yeast present in the normal cutaneous flora. Eruptions may be associated with conditions altering this flora, such as immunosuppression and antibiotic use. The most common presentation is monomorphic papules and pustules, often on the chest, back, posterior arms, and face. Purpose: The folliculitis patients were examined, and 2 scraping smears. The first smear was stained with May Grunwald Giemsa(MGG), and the other was stained with Potassium hydroxide(KOH).
