Ep.15: Two of Eczema's Biggest Troublemakers - Staph and Malassezia
If your eczema keeps flaring—especially on your face, neck, or scalp—despite trying every cream under the sun, you might be missing two of the biggest hidden troublemakers: Staph aureus and Malassezia. In this episode of Live with the Eczema Doc, Dr. Fong dives deep into how these bacteria and yeast silently disrupt your skin barrier, trigger inflammation, and make healing nearly impossible without the right root-cause approach.
You’ll learn:
- Why 90% of eczema sufferers have an overgrowth of Staph aureus—and how to test for it
- What Malassezia is (hint: it loves oil!) and why your favorite moisturizer might be making things worse
- How diet (especially sugar!), sweat, and a damaged microbiome contribute to overgrowth
- The difference between oil-based and water-based topicals—and which one is right for your skin
- Natural solutions, including topical sprays, microbiome support, and how to tell if you need antifungal vs. antibacterial care
Whether you’ve been stuck in a cycle of antibiotics, are still itchy despite "natural" treatments, or just want real answers—this episode is your wake-up call to start treating the right root cause.
🎧 Tune in to finally understand how to stop feeding the bugs—and start healing your skin from within.
