Malassezia furfur is a unicellular organism which varies in size between 1.5 and 4.5 × 2.0–6.5 micrometers. The cells have a bottle-like shape due to a small protrusion visible at the end of each cell. Cells are difficult to grow in a lab since they require specific conditions. [7]

Malassezia yeast is believed to play a role. [6] It is not a result of poor hygiene. [7] Diagnosis is typically clinical and based on the symptoms present. [4] [8] The condition is not contagious. [9] The typical treatment is topical antifungal cream and anti-inflammatory agents. [3] Specifically, ketoconazole or ciclopirox are effective. [10]
Malassezia is a genus of fungi (specifically, a yeast). Some species of Malassezia are found on the skin of animals, including humans. Because malassezia requires fat to grow, [ 3 ] it is most common in areas with many sebaceous glands —on the scalp, [ 4 ] face, and upper part of the body.
