Treatment of Tinea Versicolor in the United States

Tinea versicolor is a yeast infection caused by Malassezia globose fungus. This fungus dwells in the body but owing to certain circumstances, it tends to multiply rapidly causing irritation, itching, and patchy flakes on the skin. It is a common non-contagious skin disorder.

Though it is not a life-threatening disorder, its visibility on the skin can cause severe emotional stress, lack of self-confidence, and trauma to the sufferers.

Causes of Tinea Versicolor in the United States

The overgrowth of fungus can be triggered by a combination of environmental as well as biological factors which include:

• Oily skin
• A weakened immune system
