This is interesting: "...First, the fungus uses lipases to metabolise the fats secreted by the sebaceous glands, creating oleic acid as a by-product. This in turn penetrates the top layer of skin and triggers the rapid turnover of skin cells in susceptible people..."
My guess is that the oleic acid goes rancid, and the skin cells of the "susceptible people" have AA in them, which leads to rapid turnover of skin cells (for example, see the literature on AA and keloids). |
