ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Steroid acne is a folliculitis that can result from a systemic or topical administration of steroid and has been described as showing similar clinical pictures to Malassezia folliculitis, but there have been few reports about the incidence of Malassezia in steroid acne and other acneiform eruptions.OBJECTIVE:
Our purpose was to describe the incidences of Malassezia in acneiform eruptions and to discuss about the relationship between clinical steroid acne and Malassezia folliculitis.METHODS:
The history, clinical features, direct microscopy, histopathological analysis, and therapeutic results of 125 cases with steroid acne or other acneiform eruptions were described and compared.RESULTS:
Over 80% of patients with acneiform eruption receiving systemic steroid revealed significant numbers of Malassezia in the lesional follicle.CONCLUSION:
Steroid acne and other acneiform eruptions showing discrete follicular papules and/or pustules localized to the upper trunk or acneiform facial skin lesions associated with multiple acneiform lesions on the body in the summer period should be suspected as Malassezia folliculitis.
