Tinea Versicolor was cured for me.

Guys, I had Tinea Versicolor all over my entire chest, stomach, and back. This was due to excessive tanning. It was very ugly and depressing because I did try to treat it myself for months without any results before consulting a dermatologist. After meeting with him, he prescribed a topical solution known as Loprox. Loprox is expensive as it costs about $100 per bottle at the pharmacy. You are supposed to put it on the infected areas about 30 minutes before you take a shower each day for the first 2 weeks, then just a few times a week thereafter. While I did notice small improvement immediately, it was not until about 5 straight months of consistent treatment before the ugly discoloration was gone. I also stopped tanning completely after I met with my dermatologist. Oh yeah, I was also very rough on my skin in the shower in an attempt to bring new layers of skin to the forefront. I hope this helps for you guys, as I felt the pain for about a year. Just hang in there and make sure you treat it with persistence. Good luck to all.
