Tinea Versicolor Symptoms

Tinea versicolor is a common fungal skin infection which produces a characteristic rash. It is also known as pityriasis versicolor and is frequently confused with other skin rashes. While the rash is most common during adolescence and early adulthood, it can occur at any age.

The rash usually appears as velvety hypopigmented (less pigment) or hyperpigmented macules (spots that are not raised) or plaques. The rash usually becomes much more visible with tanning. It is most common on the trunk, face, and shoulders and does not usually itch (though it can for some people).

Causes

Tinea versicolor is caused by “yeast-like” fungi, Malassezia. The pathogenic fungus works by turning off the melanin-producing cells in the skin (the melanocytes).

Since tinea versicolor is related to the overgrowth of normal (and even protective) fungi on the skin, it is not contagious. A skin scraping and stain can reveal the characteristic yeast under the microscope (which appears like spaghetti and meatballs).

Treatment Options

There are several different treatment approaches for getting rid of the tinea versicolor rash. Because the yeast inhabits the top layer of the skin, ​the epidermis, topical anti-fungal medications tend to be very effective, at least early on or during the first occurrence of the infection.

If the rash is extensive, oral anti-fungal medications may be needed. Let’s look at these different treatments individually.

Because tinea versicolor has a recurrence rate of 80%, many people require repeat treatment or maintenance treatment to prevent the rash.

Topical Antifungals

Topical antifungal medications are the treatment of choice for tinea versicolor. A number of topical anti-fungal treatment regimens have been shown to produce a greater than 70% clinical response rate. This includes prescribing patients 2% Nizoral (ketoconazole) cream or foam to be applied once daily for 14 days.

Alternatively, using a 2% ketoconazole shampoo regimen (lathered over affected and surrounding areas and left on for at least five minutes before rinsing) also helps when applied once daily for three consecutive days.

In addition, 1% Lamisil (terbinafine) solution applied twice daily for one week has proven to be effective, as has a 1% Lotrimin (clotrimazole) solution applied once daily for one week.

Oral Antifungals

Oral anti-fungal medications can cause side effects such as nausea or reversible liver damage, but these side effects are uncommon with the short courses of therapy used for tinea versicolor.

Oral griseofulvin and oral terbinafine are not effective treatments for tinea versicolor, and the oral ketoconazole should no longer be prescribed, but a variety of other oral treatments such as fluconazole have been shown to be effective.

Dandruff Shampoos

Until recently, dandruff shampoos were the mainstay of treatment for tinea versicolor. They are less effective than the anti-fungal medications and can cause skin irritation, but they are available over-the-counter and are less expensive.

A number of regimens have been shown to be effective. This includes sulfur salicylic acid shampoo applied nightly as a lotion for one week or a zinc-pyrithione shampoo regimen (applied daily as a lotion and left on for five minutes before rinsing) for two weeks.

In addition, Selsun Blue (selenium sulfide) 2.5% lotion regimen (applied daily as a lotion and left on for 10 minutes before rinsing) for one week has proven effective.

How Long Does Tinea Versicolor Last?

Tinea versicolor often responds readily to treatment, though recurrence is very likely as noted earlier. While the spots (macules) usually resolve shortly, the changes in pigmentation may take much longer to resolve as the melanocytes need to begin producing melanin again.

A Word From Verywell

If you have tinea versicolor, consult your doctor about the variety of treatment options available to you. You and your doctor can discuss the best treatment based on the extent of your rash, how long it has been present, and if it has recurred.

How To Get Rid Of Tinea Versicolor + Symptoms, Causes, And Diet Tips

Do you have discolored patches over certain areas of your skin? And do you live in a hot climate? If you answered yes to both these questions, you have most probably developed a fungal skin condition called tinea versicolor. To know more about this condition and its treatment options, continue reading.

What Is Tinea Versicolor?

There is a fungus called Malassezia that lives on the surface of your skin. Although it usually doesn’t cause any health problems, this fungus can sometimes grow out of control and cause changes in the natural color of your skin. As a result, you may develop patches that are lighter or darker than the surrounding skin.

This condition is referred to as tinea versicolor. Another term used for this condition is pityriasis versicolor.

One of the main signs of the onset of this condition is a discolored patch or patches that surface on your skin. These patches occur in various forms. The following section lists the symptoms of tinea versicolor.

Back To TOC

Signs And Symptoms Of Tinea Versicolor

The most prominent symptom of tinea versicolor are discolored skin patches that can occur on your arms, chest, neck, or even back.

These patches might be:

• Discolored as compared to the surrounding skin
• Red, brown, pink or slightly tanned
• Itchy, scaly, and dry
• More evident with tanning
• Disappear in cooler and less humid weather

The exact cause of this uncontrolled growth of malassezia fungus is not yet established. However, some factors are known to promote the growth of this fungus and increase the risk of infection.

Back To TOC

Causes And Risk Factors For Tinea Versicolor

Factors that can promote the growth of malassezia fungus are:

• Hot and/or humid climate
• Sweating a lot
• Oily skin
• Weak immunity
• Hormonal changes

Some factors can increase your risk of developing this skin condition. They include:

• A family history of tinea versicolor
• Living in a subtropical climate
• Taking medications that may weaken your immune system
• Cancer
• Taking medications that may disrupt your hormonal balance

One of the easiest ways to find out if you have developed tinea versicolor is to observe yourself physically and look for discolored patches. Your doctor may also conduct the following tests to check for the onset of tinea versicolor.

‎How Is Tinea Versicolor Diagnosed?

Tinea versicolor can usually be diagnosed by looking at your skin. However, if such a diagnosis is not possible, your doctor may ask to take the following tests:

• A skin scraping test that involves scraping the affected skin and observing it under a microscope for the fungus.
• Potassium hydroxide (KOH) microscopy, which involves observing scraped skin with a KOH solution under a microscope.
• Biopsy, which requires the outer layer of your skin to be tested.
• Wood’s lamp test, which involves the use of a special machine called Wood’s lamp that uses ultraviolet rays to check for the presence of fungus on your skin.

If the presence of the fungus is confirmed, you can begin with the treatment almost immediately. The treatment for this condition can also be initiated right at home with the help of some basic home remedies that are listed below.

Tinea Versicolor: Stubborn Skin Condition?

1. Home
2. Health & Wellness

4. Hair, Skin, & Nails

I’ve been dealing with tinea versicolor for about five years, and it seems to be spreading. It’s on my chest, armpits, arms, neck, inner thigh, navel area, and shoulders. I don’t want to use antifungals. Diluted essential oils have worked before but didn’t get rid of the whole thing. I found something called Terrasil. Is that good? What can I do to end this?

Andrew Weil, M.D. | June 7, 2011

Tinea versicolor is a common skin infection stemming from overgrowth of a fungus that normally lives on the skin. It is harmless but can be annoying. Tinea appears as areas of scaly, discolored skin that tend to be more noticeable after exposure to the sun. The patches of discoloration can be white, pink, tan or dark brown. Sometimes, they itch. Tinea versicolor is most common among adolescents and young adults with oily skin and tends to come on in hot, humid weather, as a result of excessive sweating, during periods of hormonal change, and when the immune system can’t defend the skin against overgrowth of the organism.

Typically, these infections are treated with applications of non-prescription antifungal lotions, creams, gels or shampoos. If those products don’t work, oral antifungal drugs may be prescribed.

I do not recommend using Terrasil, which is a colloidal silver product. Contrary to claims made for it, colloidal silver is not a substitute for antibiotics, or any other medications. It is true that silver is an effective germicide with some usefulness in medicine, but it can accumulate in the body and cause a much more disfiguring skin condition called argyria, marked by bluish-gray pigmentation, especially around the nose and mouth. This color change cannot be reversed. Long-term use of oral silver products has led to neurological problems including seizures, as well as kidney damage. It can also interfere with the absorption of some drugs including tetracycline antibiotics and thyroid hormone supplements.

I suggest trying tea tree oil extracted from the leaves of Melaleuca alternifolia. This works as well as or better than pharmaceutical antifungal products. Apply a light coating to the affected area two or three times a day, and continue to apply it for two weeks after signs of the infection have disappeared to make sure the fungus is eradicated. Be sure to select brands that are 100 percent tea tree oil. In addition, consider scrubbing the affected areas with Selsun Blue shampoo and an exfoliating pad such as a “Buf-Puf,” which can provide an antifungal effect. Adding some raw garlic to your diet might also help, because of garlic’s potent antifungal activity.

Tinea versicolor – Diagnosis and treatment

Diagnosis

Your doctor can diagnose tinea versicolor by looking at it. If there’s any doubt, he or she may take skin scrapings from the infected area and view them under a microscope.

Treatment

If tinea versicolor is severe or doesn’t respond to over-the-counter antifungal medicine, you may need a prescription-strength medication. Some of these medications are topical preparations that you rub on your skin. Others are drugs that you swallow. Examples include:

• Ketoconazole (Ketoconazole, Nizoral, others) cream, gel or shampoo
• Ciclopirox (Loprox, Penlac) cream, gel or shampoo
• Fluconazole (Diflucan) tablets or oral solution
• Itraconazole (Onmel, Sporanox) tablets, capsules or oral solution
• Selenium sulfide (Selsun) 2.5 percent lotion or shampoo

Even after successful treatment, your skin color may remain uneven for several weeks, or even months. Also, the infection may return in hot, humid weather. In persistent cases, you may need to take a medication once or twice a month to prevent the infection from recurring.

Lifestyle and home remedies

For a mild case of tinea versicolor, you can apply an over-the-counter antifungal lotion, cream, ointment or shampoo. Most fungal infections respond well to these topical agents, which include:

• Clotrimazole (Lotrimin AF) cream or lotion
• Miconazole (Micaderm) cream
• Selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue) 1 percent lotion
• Terbinafine (Lamisil AT) cream or gel

[Total: 139 Average: 3.2]

Many people suffer from fungal infections at least once in their lives. Poor hygiene, humidity, and warm climate are possible causes of fungal infections. Diaper rash, athlete’s foot, jock itch, and oral thrush are some common fungal infections. Many fungi that cause these infections are already becoming resistant to more aggressive forms of medications.  

While over-the-counter medicines and antifungal creams are readily available in the market, most fungal infections respond very positively to home remedies. Let us take a look at some of them.

Causes of Fungal Infections:

1. Hot and humid climates, sweating too much, or wearing damp clothes can result in the development of fungal infections.
2. Compromised immunity due to underlying diseases like diabetes, HIV, cancer etc. can cause fungal infections.
3. Living in an unclean environment and not maintaining personal hygiene can cause fungal infections.
4. Wearing dirty clothes like unclean socks and innerwear can lead to fungal infections.
5. Wearing clothes that are too tight can cause sweating, further resulting in the development of fungal infections.
6. Obesity can lead to fungal infections. Moisture can be retained in skin folds, further giving a breeding ground to fungus.
7. Stress can compromise our immunity further leading to fungal infections.
8. Hormonal changes in pregnancy can lead to vaginal infections.

Home Remedies For Fungal Infection are:

1. Eat Yoghurt and Probiotics

Yoghurt and other probiotics have an ample amount of good bacteria that help stave off many fungal infections. These fight off microbes that cause these infections.

Fermented foods are another excellent source of probiotics. If these are not helping, you could use probiotic supplements that have more concentrated dosages of the good bacteria. Read more on the health benefits of yoghurt.

2. Wash with Soap and Water

Clean the affected area with soap and water twice daily before you apply any home remedies or any other medication. This will control the spread of infection.

3. Use Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has antifungal properties. You could mix two tablespoons in warm water and drink it up or dip a cotton ball in it and dab over your skin. Doing this thrice a day should produce beneficial results. Know more about the health benefits of apple cider vinegar.

4. Use Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil is naturally antifungal and antibacterial. Mix it with any carrier oil like coconut oil or olive oil and dab over the infected area about three to four times a day. This is one of the most effective home remedies to treat fungal infections. 

5. Use Coconut Oil

In its unheated form, even coconut oil works as a potent antifungal agent. Applying it over the skin makes it a good, safe topical medicine. Since it is easy on the skin, it is also useful to treat scalp ringworm. Use over the skin three times a day.

6. Use Turmeric

Turmeric is a potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory spice. Mix with a little water and apply over the infected area. To get benefits in the internal body environment, mix with warm water, or have turmeric tea.

7. Use Aloe Vera

One of the most time-tested natural remedies to cure any skin infection is aloe vera. It not only treats the infection but also soothes and repairs skin damage. Also, read aloe vera benefits for face and skin.

8. Garlic

Garlic is one of the most potent antifungal and antimicrobial herbs. Those who eat garlic regularly are less susceptible to fungal infections. Crush a couple of garlic with some olive oil and make a paste. Apply to the infected area for about thirty minutes. Also, read the benefits of garlic for health.

9. Oregano Oil

Another active antifungal agent is oregano oil. Mix a few drops with any carrier oil and dab on the affected area. You could also take oregano oil capsules orally.

Follow these remedies regularly to achieve the desired results. Check for allergies to essential oils before using them.

10. Neem Leaves

Neem leaves have effective antifungal properties and are extremely good for the skin. Washing the infected area with neem water helps in treating fungal infections. To make neem water, boil neem leaves in water for 2 to 3 minutes.

11. Consuming foods rich in Vitamin C

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid ) boosts our immune system. It protects our body from various infections. A good immune system also helps to treat fungal infections faster.

12. Baking Soda

Baking soda is useful in fungal infections like athlete Foot. Applying baking soda powder on our feet and the inside of our shoes helps to absorb moisture and sweat. It thus prevents the infection from spreading.

13. Hydrogen Peroxide

Hydrogen Peroxide helps to cure Athletes Foot. Soaking our feet in a solution made using equal parts of water and hydrogen peroxide effectively kills the fungus causing athletes feet.

14. Ginger

Gingerol present in ginger has potent antifungal properties. Adding ginger to our diet in the form of ginger tea effectively helps to prevent and treat fungal infections like Candida.

You can also follow certain precautions to prevent or treat fungal infections like:

• Always wear clean clothes.
• Avoid using harsh detergents to clean clothes.
• Avoid wearing clothes that are too tight. Prefer breathable cotton clothes.
• Avoid scratching the affected area as it can worsen the infection and also increase the chances of spreading.
• Wash the affected area at least 2 to 3 times a day.
• Keep the affected area as dry as possible.

When to visit a doctor for fungal infections?

• Even after following home remedies, there is no improvement.
• The fungal infection worsens or recurs.
• The infection starts spreading.
• Women who are pregnant.
• People suffering from diabetes.
• Fungal infection is accompanied by fever or discharge of pus.

Tinea Versicolor Is Way More Common Than I Thought, And Here’s How I Treated Mine

The yeast tends to live on dead skin and gravitates towards oil. Also, the yeast tends to spread in warm, humid weather, which is why I was always noticing it more in the late spring and summer. “The yeast is an opportunist, so when conditions are ripe for it to multiply, it gets going,” says Schultz. No wonder the American Academy of Dermatology lists it as one of the most common skin diseases in tropical and sub-tropical areas. Once you’ve been diagnosed with tinea versicolor, it’s not something that can be cured. The yeast malassezia is always there as a part of the microbial ecosystem on your skin, and the patches can keep recurring, but there are ways to manage the symptoms.

Related: These Are The 10 Most Googled Beauty Questions, Answered

So how do you treat it?

Schultz recommends over-the-counter shampoos or body cleansers with chemical exfoliants like salicylic or glycolic acid to get tinea versicolor under control. “Because it just lives in the superficial layers of skin, anything that gets rid of the top layer of dead cells is really going to work,” he says. Or you can use anti-fungal shampoos with active ingredients that actually kill the yeast instead of just peeling it off. Look for selenium sulfide on the label, which you can find in Selsun Blue shampoo ($9, walgreens.com). And if you see a dermatologist, they’ll probably prescribe you Ketoconazole shampoo, which is a stronger anti-fungal shampoo. No matter which product you choose, the method is the same: Apply the product to the hair and on your body where the rash is present. Leave on for 5-10 minutes, then rinse.

“The way we know the infection has been controlled is that there’s no flaking left, the edges aren’t raised anymore, and there’s no itching or pinkness,” says Schultz. But it can come back and spread, especially in the summer months or if you’re not treating the malassezia. When it returns, restart the treatment with a medicated shampoo.

I used the Ketoconazole shampoo every day for a week, then once a week for a month. And it helped tremendously. It stopped the spreading down my stomach and back, making this summer the first time I’ve had clear skin for a full season. Although there is still a faint discoloration, I’m really the only one who can tell it’s there. There’s no one asking what’s going on when I wear a V-neck. No pointing children, and I no longer hide under big necklaces.

After talking to Schultz and Prystowsky, it’s good to know how common tinea versicolor really is. It’s not some freaky genetic thing my sisters and I have, but something a lot of people deal with. “I think the main thing to know is that it’s a nuisance, but something [you] shouldn’t be medically afraid of,” says Prystowsky.

Tinea Versicolor: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments

Overview

What is tinea versicolor?

Tinea versicolor is a superficial fungal infection of the skin. It is caused by overgrowth of a yeast that is normally present on the skin. It can cause skin discoloration and, sometimes, mild itching. The infection is also known as pityriasis versicolor.

For many people, doctors treat the condition successfully with topical or oral antifungal medications. With treatment, most people recover fully from this infection.

Who is most at risk for getting tinea versicolor?

Tinea versicolor affects many people worldwide. People living in tropical or subtropical regions are most at risk. It is common during summer months in temperate climates and around puberty when the oil glands of the skin are more active.

You may be at higher risk if your immune system does not function properly. This may occur if you take medications like corticosteroids, have had an organ transplant, or have medical conditions like diabetes. Pregnant women are more susceptible to tinea versicolor.

Is tinea versicolor contagious?

Tinea versicolor is not contagious.

Symptoms and Causes

What causes tinea versicolor?

An overgrowth of yeast on the skin surface causes tinea versicolor. If your skin is warm, moist, and oily enough, naturally occurring yeast may grow in small colonies. These yeast colonies cause the symptoms of tinea versicolor.

What are the symptoms of tinea versicolor?

For most people, tinea versicolor causes mild symptoms. These may include:

• Skin discoloration, usually on the face, neck, chest and abdomen. Discolored patches can appear anywhere on your body.
• Itching at or around areas of skin affected by tinea versicolor
• Excessive sweating
• Patches of skin that:
  • Have sharply defined edges
  • Are lighter or darker than normal skin and can be pink, yellow-brown or tan
  • May dry out and form scales
  • May not darken in the sun

Diagnosis and Tests

How is tinea versicolor diagnosed?

Doctors can diagnose tinea versicolor with simple skin tests. In one type of test, your doctor scrapes off some loose skin cells he or she believes are infected with tinea versicolor. This skin sample is examined under a microscope for the presence of yeast cells.

Your doctor may also examine your skin using a Wood lamp. This device uses ultraviolet (UV) light to illuminate your skin. Areas of skin where tinea versicolor is present look yellow-green under the UV light.

Management and Treatment

How is tinea versicolor treated?

Doctors treat tinea versicolor with antifungal medications. Your doctor may recommend a topical antifungal medication, such as ketoconazole (Xolegel® or Extina®). You’ll apply this as a cream or wash to areas of your skin affected by the condition.

If your symptoms are severe, your doctor may also prescribe oral antifungals, such as fluconazole (Diflucan®).

What complications are associated with tinea versicolor?

For some people, tinea versicolor causes skin discoloration that lasts for months to years. In most cases, this discoloration fades away gradually after treatment is complete.

What outcomes should I expect from treatment?

Most people completely clear their tinea versicolor with treatment. Proper treatment with antifungal medication is necessary to ensure a complete recovery and prevent recurrences.

Prevention

Can tinea versicolor be prevented?

The best way to prevent tinea versicolor is by practicing good skin hygiene. The yeast that causes this infection occurs naturally on your skin. Bathing and drying of your skin lower the likelihood of infection.

If you have a history of tinea versicolor, your doctor may recommend you use soap containing zinc pyrithione (like Vanicream™ Z-Bar or DermaZinc™ Zinc Therapy Soap), ketoconazole (Nizoral®) or selenium sulfide (Selsun blue). This type of soap may help prevent future infections and overgrowth of yeast.

Outlook / Prognosis

What is the prognosis (outlook) for people with tinea versicolor?

Tinea versicolor is not a harmful infection and only affects the top layer of the skin. People often have more than one episode of tinea versicolor. Because the yeast grows naturally on the skin, it can recur (come back). Using medicated soap a couple of times each week or month can reduce recurrences of tinea versicolor.

Living With

When should I call my doctor?

If you develop symptoms of tinea versicolor, schedule an appointment with your doctor. He or she can determine if you have this condition and recommend further treatment options.

Versicolor versicolor: medicines used in the treatment

Versicolor versicolor – mycosis of the skin, a disease that can affect the upper layers of the skin, hair cuticles and nails, which does not pose a health hazard, but reduces the quality of human life.

General

Versicolor versicolor, also called pityriasis, is a fungal disease. When this disease occurs, skin lesions appear that do not bring severe discomfort and are considered not too contagious.There are problems of aesthetic nature, because clearly defined spots with flaky skin are unpleasant to look at.

Causes of multi-colored lichen

Versicolor versicolor occurs as a result of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastrointestinal tract), functional disorders of the central and autonomic nervous system. Also, pityriasis versicolor appears as a side effect when taking oral contraceptives. Also, excessive sweating and foci of local infection can cause this disease.The fungus, which is the causative agent, already exists on human skin. It is activated due to hormonal disruption in the body. This disease in most cases occurs in people over seven and under forty. The exacerbation occurs in the warm, often summer months.

Symptoms

On the areas of the skin affected by the disease, spots appear that have a non-inflammatory character, which originate in the hair follicles and grow gradually, increasing in size.Connecting with each other, they form rather noticeable skin lesions that are dark brown in color or close in tone to coffee with milk. This spectrum of colors gave the name to the disease – versicolor versicolor. Lichen is usually located asymmetrically, mainly on the back or chest, but can also occur in other areas of the body. When adolescents are ill, a distinctive feature is a large number of infected areas. There is a slight flaking of the skin, similar to flour.

What can you do with pityriasis versicolor

In order not to harm yourself, at the first manifestation of multi-colored lichen, you should consult a doctor.

What a doctor can do

The doctor can diagnose the patient and prescribe the appropriate treatment.

Pityriasis versicolor: symptoms, causes, treatment

Pityriasis versicolor is an infectious dermatological disease that affects the upper layers of the skin.It is not very dangerous, nor is it contagious and does not cause serious complications. It also has other names – tinea versicolor versicolor.

Symptoms

The general symptoms of pityriasis versicolor, which do not depend on the form of the disease, look like this:

• Scarlet asymmetric spots located on the back, shoulders, abdomen, head and neck. The sizes of the spots are different, they can cover quite large areas of the skin.
• Brown or yellow spots, also varying in size, with jagged edges, often merging into larger formations.
• Severe flaking of tissues in the affected areas.
• Itching sensation. But it is important to know that it does not always occur – only in those cases when pityriasis versicolor is accompanied by a secondary infection.
• Lack of sunburn on sore areas of the body. This is due to the fact that the fungus that infects the skin disrupts the work of melanocytes.

There are other symptoms of pityriasis versicolor – they are associated with a specific form:

• Follicular.Most often associated with discomfort and suggests the presence of ulcers, various papules and rashes.
• Inverted. With this form, the spots are located in the folds of the skin – armpits, in the groin area.
• Erythematosquamous. This form is characterized by light spots with no signs of inflammation. Most often, formations are observed on the back, abdomen and chest. Children can develop pityriasis versicolor on the head.

Since many people are not concerned about the symptoms of the disease, they may not pay attention to the disease for years.As a result, it becomes chronic: it periodically disappears, then, under the influence of negative factors, it is activated again.

Important! If signs of pityriasis versicolor appear in a woman during pregnancy, this does not pose any danger to the baby. But you cannot start treatment before childbirth, since pills that treat diseases are just undesirable for the development of the fetus.

In a child

Pityriasis versicolor in children occurs only if personal hygiene is not followed or skin care is improper.As a rule, up to 10 years, the body itself is able to cope with pathogenic organisms, if the barrier functions of the skin are not disturbed. But after the age of ten, hormonal changes begin, due to which the susceptibility to pathogenic fungi increases as a result of various negative factors – children can get sick on a par with adults.

The course of the disease does not depend on age – both in small patients and in large patients it is the same.

Adult

Most often, the disease occurs in people from 10 to 60 years old.As a rule, it does not cause severe discomfort, but is associated only with negative aesthetic consequences. After 60 years, such age-related changes in the skin occur, due to which it becomes less susceptible to the causative agent of the disease.

Reasons

The causes of pityriasis versicolor are the same bacteria and fungi that live on our skin and are considered part of its normal microflora. However, under the influence of various negative factors, the fungus can acquire pathogenic properties.These factors include the following:

• Excessive sweating. In another way, it is called hyperhidrosis.
• Disorders in the work of the sebaceous glands.
• Severe and regular overheating – being in hot rooms, wearing too warm clothes.
• Changes in the composition of sweat, which may be associated with illness, taking certain medications.
• Various diseases of internal organs, including autoimmune diseases.
• Hormone surges during pregnancy, medication, menopause.
• Poor quality synthetic clothing.
• High acidity of the skin.

The development of pityriasis versicolor most often occurs against the background of reduced immunity, therefore, there is some regularity regarding the time of its appearance. Most often, people face such a problem in the autumn-spring period, when there is not enough vitamins, sunlight and physical activity.

Diagnostics

Since there are quite similar problems, the diagnosis of pityriasis lichen is carried out not only at the examination level, but also using special tests:

For a complete picture, the patient is assigned general blood and urine tests.

Treatment

For the treatment of pityriasis versicolor, tablets (immunomodulators and antifungal agents, vitamins) are used, as well as topical ointments.In some cases, antifungal shampoos are prescribed. If the patient has an itchy sensation, antihistamines are prescribed.

Now in pharmacies there are a lot of products intended for the treatment of pityriasis versicolor, but it is important to understand that they all require individual selection. In no case do not self-medicate – it either will not give an effect, or will only delay the inevitable trip to the dermatologist. Better make an appointment with a specialist at Medicina JSC – dermatologists with extensive experience work in our clinic in Moscow.They will quickly make an accurate diagnosis and select an effective treatment regimen for you.

As for alternative methods, it is recommended to discuss them with your doctor. As a rule, when using modern and effective means, they are useless, and therefore simply waste the time and energy of patients.

Prevention

Now the prevention of pityriasis versicolor is relevant for all people. It includes such recommendations:

• Fight hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) – take a shower more often, put on clean clothes, use additional products: deodorants, special creams, powders.
• Dress for the weather and avoid overheating in different situations.
• Do not injure the skin by too frequent washing, regular use of regular soap, scrubs, peels.
• Observe the rules of personal hygiene – including not using other people’s hygiene products.
• Wear comfortable, breathable clothing made primarily from natural fabrics – especially close-fitting clothing.
• Maintain immunity: lead a healthy lifestyle, give up bad habits, eat right.After consultation with an endocrinologist, many people are advised to take additional vitamin complexes.
• Monitor your health: stop acute conditions in time, treat chronic diseases.
• Use cosmetics wisely – they must suit your skin type and your needs. If it is difficult to understand the composition of numerous products, it makes sense to go for a consultation with a beautician and choose individual care for the skin of the face, body and head.

There is nothing specific in the prevention of pityriasis versicolor – it implies a responsible attitude towards one’s health, which is necessary for every person and in any situation.

Questions-answers

Is pityriasis versicolor spread from person to person?

The disease is not transmitted by household or other means, so the patient does not need isolation.

What causes pityriasis versicolor?

The reason is that fungi and bacteria that are normally found on our skin, with weakening of immunity, become pathological.That is, everyone can face such a problem.

How to treat pityriasis versicolor?

Pityriasis versicolor on the head is treated with special ointments, shampoos and pills. All the same applies to other localizations, only shampoo is not used. Traditional methods are not suitable for these purposes – only special medicines selected individually by a dermatologist.

Versicolor versicolor

About two thousand skin diseases are known in the world.Among them there are those that are life-threatening, there are those that significantly reduce its quality, and some are perceived by patients simply as a feature of the skin. It’s about keratomycosis.

Keratomycosis is a fungal disease that affects the surface layer of the skin. The most common disease from this group is pityriasis versicolor (also called pityriasis).

The causative agent of multi-colored lichen is a fungus that lives on the skin of 90% of healthy people as part of normal microflora in the form of inactive spores.In everyday life, a person often encounters fungi, but the immune system is designed in such a way that a healthy body copes with them on its own. Against the background of vitamin deficiency, dysbiosis, low nutrition, metabolic disorders, versicolor versicolor begins to manifest itself.

The development of the disease is facilitated by excessive sweating and a change in the chemical composition of sweat, a decrease in physiological peeling of the skin, pathology of internal organs, endocrine glands. More often people of young and middle age get sick.

Typical picture: on the skin of the shoulders, chest, back, abdomen, pinkish, quickly turning brown, flaky spots appear. Due to the difference in color, the disease is called versicolor versicolor. The skin looks mottled. Peeling of spots is more clearly manifested when scraping, the fallen off scales resemble small bran, hence another name – pityriasis versicolor. The elements of the rash are prone to fusion. The color of the spots may be the color of healthy skin, and then they may not be visible during normal examination.But if you conduct a laboratory study of the scales or examine the foci in the rays of a fluorescent lamp, then the diagnosis is beyond doubt.

It is important to remember: there are no “cutaneous” diseases. Any skin disease is a manifestation of malfunctions in internal organs. Sometimes the skin is the first to signal that you should pay attention to your health.

What is the danger of versicolor versicolor? Skin pigmentation disorders can cause not only a cosmetic defect. Prolonged persistent course of the disease leads to excessive activity of the immune response, and this leads to skin allergic reactions, contact dermatitis.

How to treat versicolor versicolor? This question is often very troubling for patients. Before starting treatment, it is necessary to reliably establish a diagnosis, and this can only be done by a dermatologist. In this case, the treatment of skin manifestations must necessarily be combined with the search for the root cause of the disease and its correction. Otherwise, a person will face a series of long-term relapses of lichen, resistant to any therapy.

Pityriasis versicolor: home treatment with folk remedies

Superficial mycosis, in which the upper layer of the epidermis is affected by a yeast-like fungus, is called pityriasis versicolor.
