lol what??? malassezia literally only feeds off of saturated fat
This is what I was referring to:
If OP is dealing with fungal overgrowth (seborrheic dermatitis) I would be careful with applying any type of oil, including coconut oil, to his skin.
Malassezia feeds on fatty acids with carbon chain lengths 11-24, so basically all oils except for pure MCT oil and petroleum Growth Requirements And Lipid Metabolism Of Pityrosporum Orbiculare - ScienceDirect. Best is to avoid all oils and moisturizers.
