Ceramide EOP and fungal acne
No known trigger
Why it's not a known trigger
A sphingolipid built on a sphingoid base with its fatty acid amide-linked; Malassezia yeast’s documented fat-cutters are ester-cutters (lipases, phospholipases, esterases), with no ceramidase reported for it.
No direct Malassezia feeding record found. Amide-linked chains are not shown to be food the way ester-linked ones are; widely tolerated in FA-conscious routines. Revisit if feeding data appears.
