* READERS’ KEYWORD QUESTIONS *
Q: * does malassezia cause black specks *
K: * pin prick skin lesions *
A Assuming we are talking about the same Black Specks :
In one of my Entries in the * Malassezia Blog * i have mentioned
about the presence of Black Specks and a simple experiment i did
to determine if they were as i had suspected Malassezia Spores
impregnated with Blood – mostly dead blood at that stage.
The Black Specks ( Maroon when looked under microscope )
are dead blood at an initial entry pint or attachment of
a) Early stage spores adhering to the skin and drawing Blood, and
b) Entry points into the skin while ‘digging and burrowing’
under the surface augmenting and creating Bumps
that turn to lesions as shown in photo below.
Fortunately, not all of them complete the cycle, some remaining
just dead Black Specks some creating Bumps
that may be absorbed by the body
while some develop into Lesions lasting for several weeks
as photo shown below
Often if picked they start to bleed which i believe is an indication
they are still active and on the job.
Above i have included the Keyword * pin prick skin lesions *
used by a different Reader because the small Black Specks
start with a strong Pin Prick feeling in different parts of the Body
some without creating or leaving behind Black Specks
in areas such as the Soft part of Toes,Torso or Pelvic and Buttock area
–perhaps but not for sure- non greasy fleshy areas
with near the surface easy to get to Blood Supply …
(Possibly a variation of Behaviour and or Requirements
due to different species of the genus of Malassezia … )
The Test to determine if the Black Specks are Malassezia
is to collect and place in a little water to soak.
If they swell and turn to bright blood red
they are most likely Malassezia specks.
