It is a small, sharply circumscribed, pigmented macule surrounded by normal-appearing skin. Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection of the skin caused by the yeast Pityrosporum ovale. This yeast occurs naturally on everyone's skin. When the yeast starts to multiply rapidly, it can form small colonies on the skin's surface. The reason the yeast does this on some people but not others is unknown, but it is known that tinea versicolor is not contagious.

Usually it is caused by bacterial infection but sometimes may be caused by fungal infection as well when it is called pityrosporon folliculitis. Pityrosporum ovale is the most common yeast to cause folliculitis. It is an itchy acne-like infection that is referred to as pityrosporum folliculitus. I suggest you to get a culture sensitivity of the follicles discharge and KOH examination of the discharge and skin scrapoings to confirm the diagnosis. Then specific antimicrobial can be started.
Hi,
Tinea versicolor or pityriasis versicolor is a common skin infection caused by the yeast Malassezia furfur (formerly termed Pityrosporum ovale). This yeast is normally found on the human skin and only becomes troublesome under certain circumstances, such as a warm and humid environment.
This presents as pale, dark tan, or pink spots, with a reddish undertone that can darken when the patient is overheated, such as in a hot shower or during/after exercise .
How common is pityrosporum folliculitis a symptom of HIV? I have pityrosporum folliculitis and every time I google it HIV pops up. I just recently got diagnosed with pityrosporum. I've had it for about 14 months and was misdiagnosed as bacterial folliculitis and was given a host of antibiotics over the past year, all of them making the PF worse. I last had an HIV test in 2006 and have had sex with four females from 2006 until now.

Generally oval or irregularly-shaped spots of 1/4 to 1 inch in diameter, often merging together to form a larger patch.
These spots commonly affect the back, underarm, upper arm, chest, lower legs, and neck.
i dont know if it glows in the blacklight because it is flaking skin or because of a fungus? i can scratch off little pieces of skin. what could it be? its not red, its slightly lighter than my regular color even when i tan, i think maybe just because it is dead skin coming off? i work in a place with lots of blacklights so its kind if embarassing...also i am always cold so i bundle up a lot even though i live in fl. so my armpits are probably ideal for a fungus.
Read this article to do with the fungus Malassezia and it’s relation to the sebaceous glands.

m going off of what I vaguely remember lol. There are 3 causes for dandruff dry scalp, oily scalp, and a fungus. The condition of your scalp is what is going to tell u which treatment to use. One remedy is ad easy as shampooing everyday and using less conditioner on your scalp. You should also try using a clarifying shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner.
(if I was to list the antibiotics/tropical’s I have tried it would consume this entire post)
As a result of being on all the antibiotics a biopsy confirmed I developed Pityrosporum Folliculitis on my arms. I took oral ketaconazole as well as the topical but neither worked.
From the outset I was recommended to go on accutane and within the last year I reluctantly agreed out of frustration after nothing has worked over the last four plus years.
Hi, since last spring I've been getting dandruff in my eyebrows. It's almost always in the left eyebrow. I went to see the doctor about this around May and he prescribed an alcohol based gel because he thought it was some kind of infection or fungus and that the gel would get rid of it. The gel just makes my skin ridiculously flaky where it wasn't flaky before so I only used it a few times and stopped.
I've included some photos in case it might help...
I am a licensed cosmetologist and let me tell you; dandruff is caused by a FUNGUS. Dry skin & dandruff are two completely unrelated hair diseases. I have experienced exactly what you are going through right now and you must treat it as dry skin not dandruff. Selsun blue won't do you any good because it contains a medication used for treating the dandruff fungus. Head and shoulders may help because it is targeted for dry, itchy scalp.
