Malassezia Yeast  Lesion Stages – Types and Characteristics

*

                  

                   

            ~ Like a Cigarette Burn Never Letting off… ~

 

        One type of Lesion is a surface one, like a Paper Cut Line or Scratch

                    leaving a shallow scar that fades in time. (Photo 1-2)

* Another type of lesion is also surface – but may depend on skin depth of area –

  starting with a burning sensation like acid or cigarette burn,

  usually located near the genital or other soft skin areas and lasts for 3-4 weeks

 

Depending on the area some scars fade away slowly and some leave white patches.

* A  Variation of the above lesion starts with a burning sensation on the skin

            much like most followed by the formation of a Deeper, Bumpy,

                         Itchy Lesion that develops for days.

It creates an open caving with some painful thick plankton like substance in the centre

impossible to be squeezed. It is, or becomes part of the skin and there is frequent

pin like (digging) activity inside it, lasting for three to four weeks as usual. (Photo 1)

The initial pus/plankton in the centre, turns into a yellowish cheese like substance

                 or more specifically into a wet chock granuloma,

                    impossible to dig out other than surgically.

I suspect it is the same type as above but either attacked by more Malassezia ‘units’

or the depth of the skin area is more favourable. . (Photo 1-2 below )

 

Maroon Blood Spots are often visible, possibly entry / dig points. . (Photo 1)
