HELP! What do I do about my tinea versicolor?!
Question: HELP! What do I do about my tinea versicolor!?
I have a pretty bad case of tinea versicolor which is those white blotches that some people notice on their skin after laying in the tanning bed or something like that!. It covers my shoulders, upper arms, chest, and I have a few on my face!. :( It really bothers me so I stopped tanning altogether in the hopes that they would fade!. I haven't tanned at all in over 2 months and they are still there and I actually think they are spreading!. First I got some Ketoconazole lotion from the derm!. and used it for a few weeks with no results!. Then I started trying remedies from the internet!. I used Nizoral shampoo and left it on my skin for a while and then washed it off!. After I washed it off I put on some clotimazole cream(a suggestion by a pharmacist)!. After a few days of trying this solution, I noticed extremely dry skin that was red and almost looked sore-like or burn-like!. I immediately stopped using the medicines all-together!. A week later I still have the white spots and the "burns!." HELP!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tinea Vesicolor is fungal infection of the skin caused by Mellessei furfur!. It is easily treated with oral ketoconazole 200mg daily for 14 days, and subsequently using sulphur soap for bathing to prevent easy recurrence!. It is very easy to get recurrence due to poor hygiene!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Use the ketoconazole pills instead of the cream!. Use sunscreen, do not tan, ever!.
For one, tanning makes versicolor worse!. For another, tanning causes premature aging and skin cancer!. People who are in the know do NOT lie in the sun or go to tanning booths!. You can enjoy the beach with sunscreen, wide brim hats, cover ups, and etcetera!. Try sun solutions online for some nice coverups and hats!.
Tan isn't really fashionable anymore, enjoy your creamy colored skin, and bikini with sunscreen!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
