Tinea versicolor is a common fungus infection caused by Malassezia. Usually it presents as blotchy tan areas but can also look hypopigmented on tan or darker skin. Conditions that can look similar are melasma, cafe au lait macules, vitiligo, some rarer birth marks, CARP and brown spots from sun damage. If condition is not improving with over the counter antifungals, talk to your doctor about other medications and to rule out these other skin conditions. #tineaversicolor #hypopigmentation #skinto
