Описание: Tinea Versicolor Treatment|
Pityriasis Versicolor (जिसे Tinea Versicolor भी कहते हैं) is a common fungal skin infection that leads to white, brown, or pink patches on the chest, back, shoulders, and arms.
In this video, Dr. Cheena Langer (MD Dermatology) from Aastha Skin & Dermato-Cosmetic Centre, Jammu explains in detail:
✅ What is Pityriasis Versicolor (Tinea Versicolor)?
It is a superficial fungal infection caused by Malassezia yeast, which disrupts skin pigmentation, leading to discolored patches.
✅ Why is it more common in humid weather & monsoon season?
Fungi thrive in warm and sweaty conditions. High humidity, sweating, and oily skin create a perfect environment for fungal overgrowth.
✅ Early signs & symptoms you should never ignore
Small, scaly, discolored patches (white, brown, or pink)
Mild itching or burning in some cases
Patches become more visible after sun exposure
✅ Effective dermatological treatments & skincare tips
Topical antifungal creams/shampoos (ketoconazole, clotrimazole, selenium sulfide)
Oral antifungals in resistant or widespread cases
Maintain hygiene, keep skin dry, avoid excessive sweating
Use mild cleansers, avoid heavy oily creams
✅ How to prevent recurrence of fungal skin patches
Regular antifungal shampoo use (once weekly as maintenance)
Wearing breathable cotton clothes
Staying dry in humid weather
Consulting a dermatologist at the earliest sign of recurrence
