Okay where do I start...i have had tinea versicolor for over 3 years now, it covers 100% of my chest and patches travel all down my abdomen into my groin, also down my arms and on my kneck and under my armpits. I feel like a giant walking yeast infection, and nothing I have used has even remotley weakened it at all, it seems to be immune to everything I have tried.
I’m a 20 year old female, and I have been dealing with tinea versicolor for going on 7 months. I’ve tried the shampoos and my doctor has prescribed me multiple rounds of fluconazole (spaced out between rounds) the rash went away after awhile, but I was not using the shampoo (I was using a natural soap on Amazon for tinea versicolor). Sadly, the rash came back after a month or so. I never stopped using that exact same soap, and I would shower normally 2-3 times a day (because I work out).
External application of ketoconazole is fine assuming it it tinea versicolor, but to use internally is not advisable with out a prescription.
My article Tinea Versicolor reviews the treatments that work well for this condition. And no, tinea versicolor therapy does not cause fading of the tattoo.
Hi,
The white spots in skin can be caused by a yeast called tinea versicolor, vitiligo, other systemic illness. The tinea versicolor yeasts are always around us, and usually cause no problems. Some of us are more susceptible to the things that can convert tinea versicolor yeast into forms that cause the rash: heat, oily skin, birth control pills, humidity, pregnancy and corticosteroids.
Tinea versicolor yeasts are not contagious.
Rockoff,
I went to a dermatologist with 2 problems that I have - one with wrinkled, sticky skin on my penis and another is tinea versicolor that I have for 4-5 years already. Dr said it might be balanitis, gave me Vusion cream which I applied for a week. But things didn't improve noticeably, in fact I got irritation on the foreskin in the form of small abrasions that are sensitive to touch so Dr recommended to apply something bland like Aquaphor.
Hello,
Since these dark patches are not itchy, so an important possibility is of tinea versicolor. It is a common skin infection caused by the yeast Malassezia furfur. This skin disease commonly affects adolescents and young adults, especially in warm and humid climates.
Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines.
Hello,
Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be tinea versicolor. Tinea versicolor is caused by a fungus that lives in the skin of almost all adults. Factors that can cause the fungus to become more visible include high humidity and immune or hormone abnormalities.Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines.
I got tested about 3 weeks after the encounter and it came up negative and the blotches were diagnosed as tinea versicolor. All of my stressing seems to come when i see something on google and i recently saw that tinea versicolor is a symptom of it..
Now after 3 weeks, the swollen lymph node is back....
Hello,
It can be due to lentigo skin or tinea versicolor. Lentigo are flat brown lesions which do not darken following sun exposure. 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.
Another reason - affects construction workers or people who work outside in hot climates - is tinea versicolor (or pityriasis versicolor) where people sweat on their skin and develop a fungal infection. Sunlight does not pass through the fungus so intermittent parts of their skin are tanned while others are lighter colored.
There is no known treatment for Vitiligo. Usually it's the psychological aspect of the condition that causes the most problem.
I have a pretty severe case of Tinea Versicolor, completely covers my chest and stomach, back, arms and starts down my legs. Nothing my dermatologist prescribes helps. My question, however, is even though I cannot see any spots on my penis, could the TV fungus cause my wife to get UTI’s?
( , i mean are they reliable after just 2 days ? + of that i have uhm tinea versicolor which appeared 2 weeks ago as well :( is that bad ?
When do you get tinea versicolor is it early or later in the disease? And how can you tell the difference between tinea versicolor & regular skin discoloration ?
