tinea versicolor

[Zara830]

Have any of you had this during pregnancy? Any remedies?

Maleka~ have you tried the pill you get from the doctor? You should after you have your baby.  I Had mine foreverr and I finally went and got this pill and it went away.

I got it when I became pregnant with my first baby. Hormonal changes....sadly I have tried selsun,  creams, and pills...nothing gets rid of it. It's just something I have to live with. I HATE my tinea! So much!

Aww yeah I'm sorry your going through it now. I had such bad self esteem problems when I had it. . It was the worst.  Hope it gets better before pictures.

Gonna go search for the selsun now. I had it years ago and then it went away with treatment (topical cream and pills) but since I got pregnant it came back full force. I have an appointment with my dermatologist next week so hopefully I can get something before I take my maternity pics. Never imagined I would be dealing with this during pregnancy.

I've had this.. Not pregnant but before I was.. It's the worst. I got it from a tanning bed I'm pretty sure but you can get it from hormonal changes as well.  I used tea tree body bar to wash and selsun. . The more concentrated kind, it's yellow. . Not the selsun blue and I would put it on and leave it on for as long as I could. You can also take a pill from the doctor. I am not sure if these are Ok during pregnancy though so I would definately talk to your doctor and see what they say about safe treatments.
