Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on with my skin, it's dry and itchy, and there are also white spots and red dots. It's very uncomfortable. How can I effectively treat tinea versicolor?Doctor's answer:
Pityriasis versicolor is caused by a fungal infection, so the treatment primarily involves a variety of antifungal medications. It is usually recommended to use a 2% ketoconazole solution for treatment, which generally requires about ten days of treatment. Additionally, for stubborn cases or those with larger areas, oral antifungal medications such as itraconazole can be used in conjunction, provided that liver function tests are normal.
