# Malassezia folliculitis

Malassezia folliculitis or pityrosporum folliculitis, is a skin condition caused by infection by Malassezia (formerly Pityrosporum) yeast.$^{:314}$
The skin of the upper trunk area including the back, chest, arms and sometimes the neck is often affected and this condition is often seen in young to middle aged adults, although it has been known to occur in adults well into their sixties, and can also be found on the lower extremities as well. Its diagnosis is based on the pruritic (itchy) papulopustules found in a follicular pattern in these regions.
Pustules are caused by an overgrowth of the yeast Malassezia furfur (formerly Pityrosporum ovale), which plugs the follicles. This yeast is lipophilic, requiring fatty acids that are present in oily skin to proliferate. It has been shown that Malassezia yeast grows by consuming fatty acids with carbon chain lengths C11 to C24. Malassezia is part of the normal skin flora, but overgrows in certain conditions. Overgrowth is associated with oily skin, humidity or other pre-existing dermatologic conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis and severe dandruff.

# Bondi Beach (Whiteley)

Bondi Beach—also known as Unfinished Beach Polyptych—is a 1992 painting by Australian artist Brett Whiteley. The painting is a six-panel work depicting the eponymous Bondi Beach in Sydney. The work was unfinished at the time of his death in 1992.
   "When Brett started to do this he had the idea in mind and he talked about it extensively,"
   "It was going to be Australia from the beach to Uluru but if he continued with it this size, the painting would have been eight miles (13 km) long with 1000 panels.
   "He kept putting up the panels and extending the beach. In a way it's unfinished and in a way it's finished."
The work appeared in an exhibition at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Arts Centre in 2012: Brett Whiteley: On The Water
The painting was purchased in a private sale from Whiteley's estate in 2015 by a private collector who hangs the work in his private residence. The purchaser did not disclose the price but claimed it was greater than any known price for an Australian painting at the time.
