Versicolor pityriasis
I’ve an experience with versicolor pityriasis over my back and slight on stomach, I did Google about it and there’s few treatment either by using shampoo, cream or take oral anti-fungal medicines, for your best suggestion which should I start with for the first treatment of versicolor pityriasis?

Hi thank you for your question.
Versicolor pityriasis is a common yeast infection of the skin, in which flaky discoloured patches appear on the chest and back.
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if:
- Your skin doesn’t improve with self-care measures
- The fungal infection returns
- The patches cover large areas of your body
Causes
The fungus that causes tinea versicolor can be found on healthy skin. It only starts causing problems when the fungus overgrows. A number of factors may trigger this growth, including:
- Hot, humid weather
- Oily skin
- Hormonal changes
- Weakened immune system
