Malassezia: Deterrents–Fakes– Breeders and Killers – How
Malassezia Deterrents

– The Neutrals –Neither Kill nor Attract Malassezia – just Deter
* Acidophilus Capsules – Applied:
On Head- Scalp/Hair – Ears inside/outside – Face – External Genital areas
On Lesions Anywhere – Legs, Feet, Toes.
Also Internally: 1) Orally 2) Inserted in the Vagina 3) Inserted Anally
(2 &3 Bypass stomach Acids delivering Bacteria Directly in areas needed)
* Seawater and Seaweed – Applied:
On Ears inside/outside – Face – External Genital areas
On Lesions Anywhere – Legs, Feet, Toes.
*Aloe Vera (Fresh Plant Only) – Applied:
On Lesions Anywhere – Especially Malassezia Occupied, Irritated Eyelashes
Have tried Commercial Gels but did not work
as they contain alcohol type preservative/drying agents
* YAM (Yoghurt-Milk-Acidophilus Capsules Mix) – Applied:
On Ears outside – Face – External Genital areas
On Lesions Anywhere – Legs, Feet, Toes.
* Head & Shoulder (Zinc Pyrithione)
Applied while having a Bath/Shower – And as Body Wash:

2014: Had to discontinue use later on after suspected changes in formula
having negative effects.- see later Entries
* Methylated Spirits – Applied:
On Ears on outside – Face
(External Genital areas Briefly Dabbed only)
On Lesions Anywhere – Legs, Feet, Toes.
(On a Cotton Wad left until dry)
* Mycil (Tolnafate ) – Applied:
Feet, Toes – Have tried on Lesions and Pubic area – deters Briefly only
– The Bilaterals – Deter initially – for a short time – then Attract
* Nizoral – Applied:
On Head – Scalp/Hair – Ears – and all over Body as Body Wash
Occasionally dubbed undiluted on a small area under attack
activity stopped – as with applying anything – but result undetected
* Permethrin (Cream Shampoo) – Applied:
On Head – Scalp/Hair – Ears
Ineffective Unless it contains BUTOXIDE
Delayed Yeast return and activity and feeling of dry stretched scalp
indicates perhaps it may kills ‘spores’ – the Only one i know
* Selsun Gold (Selenium Sulphite) – Applied:
On Head – Scalp/Hair – Ears (Ineffective)
* Fresh Lemon Juice – Applied:
On Head – Scalp/Hair – Ears – Shoulders –Torso
Relocates yeast quickly then it returns with a vengeance!
* Apple Cider Vinegar – Applied:
On Head – Scalp/Hair
Relocates yeast quickly then it returns with a vengeance!
* Iodine, Dettol Disinfectants – Applied:
On Lesions directly–diluted and undiluted–as deterrents and in the Bath
Greasy and Sticky and highly inviting Yeast back!
* Neutrogena Oil Free – Applied:
On Dry, Plastic -Lizard like skin- destroyed by Malassezia Sticky Layer.
Left on for extended time or overnight dissolves and clears dead skin
but contains Salicylic acid (Blood Thinner) causing bruising
and in my case bleeding as well.
( Its Intended use is to be applied briefly and rinse )
There are safer alternatives in Seawater and YAM
* Acetyl/Alcohol containing Items –such as Shampoos or Lotions
Causing quick Yeast Return and possible proliferation
though i have not confirmed the latter!
Malassezia Fakes
Applied On the Body Externally
* Colloidal Silver – Applied:
All Over Body and Lesions – No apparent Effect whatsoever
Also Taken Internally (for many months)
* Scabies Creams
* Athletes Foot cream
Both the above applied Morning and Night back to back
for many weeks – dozens of tubes
SALT as in SEA SALT – POOL SALT – And Commercial Table Salt
I have used both types for extended periods of time and massive quantities
except Commercial Salt due to Raising Blood Pressure and causing Clotting.
In Swimming Pool, in the Bath massive quantities- as Foot Spa etc
It hydrates the Skin but i noticed it leaves it vulnerable to Malassezia.
A minimal benefit was a somewhat faster healing of lesions
but not anywhere near the Real – Seawater!
Seawater Hydrates the Skin but Deters the Yeast
–Protects and Heals – Fast!!!
SODA as in BAKING SODA and in LAUNDRY DETERGENTS etc.
Applied directly on Body and in the Bath water
Soda is the opposite to Salt that it Dries the Skin badly
and so rendering it vulnerable to Malassezia.
Burns where Malassezia is present or on lesions and only deters briefly – if so…
Epsom Salts – Simply No Effect!
Malassezia Breeders
Applied On the Body Externally
* * * * ALL OILS!!! * * * *
OILS-Lotions-Ointments-Body washes-Shampoos-Conditioners
Gels –Lanoline and Generally ALL Greasy /Fatty / Waxy items
Irrespective of Any Antifungal or Antiseptic qualities
including medicated preparations.
Theoretically expected and falsely believed to Kill –
instead Facilitating Malassezia Multiplication
* Vaginal Clotrimazol (Cream) Prescription and Over Counter- Applied:
Inserted in Vagina. Initially soothing then shortly afterwards
burning like Fire -the Malassezia Fire- and a Frenzy of Traffic back in!
Took a while and repeated Blood and Lesions along the walls
to realise it was an enemy rather than a helper
having caused a lot of Unbearable pain and Discomfort
for quite some time – and the more internal lesions
the greater the fight to keep Malassezia out.
It took starting to Insert 3 Acidophilus Capsules daily directly inside
to finally Sooth, Deter Malassezia and allow it to beautifully Heal the area.
(There was an unexplainable Paradox at this conjecture
which i worked out after starting the regular course of Acidophilus
and being able to observe the cycle of internal/external traffic
the healing, the deterring and the lessening of return traffic,
Malassezia –early stage– coming out of the Vagina is harmless
causing only a Burning sensation as it spreads along on the outer body
and settles in follicles but It turns ferocious when returning at maturity
creating painful Lesions along the walls as is preparing for multiplication.)
All Three Below – Applied:
Scabies Creams
Canesten Athletes Foot Cream (Clotrimazol 10mg/g)
Daktarin (Miconazole Nitrate)
All Over the Body – from Ears/Neck down to Toes
– Daily for Many months – Dozens of tubes…
and More and More Malassezia Frenzy after a brief quiet.
