Fungal acne typically lasts for about two to three weeks with appropriate treatment. However, the duration can vary depending on the severity of the outbreak.
While a two- to three-week timeframe is common, persistent cases might require a stronger prescription and could take longer to resolve. If symptoms continue for more than a month, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist. The specific length of time it takes to clear fungal acne also depends on individual factors, such as overall health, immune response, and adherence to treatment.
