How to treat Tinea versicolor and what its symptoms are
From the pictures above, you can see that the area of skin is a different color than the skin around it. This is because the growing yeast made an acidic bleach. These can show up as one spot or as a group of spots. On dark skin, they look like light spots, and on light skin, they look like dark spots. The spots usually appear on the face, neck, back, and arms. There is a way to get rid of the patches, which is good news. Fungal infections can be treated directly on the skin with shampoos, lotions, soaps, creams, and foams. Tinea versicolor that is more severe can also be treated with antifungal pills. Tinea versicolor can be treated with both creams and pills, depending on how bad the infection is.
