Tinea Versicolor...

Ok so I'm feeling a bit strange putting a medical issue on here, but I'm not looking for medical advice. I've had Tinea Versicolor on my upper back for over 10 years. I've been to several dermatologists, tried just about every medicine there is and it comes back every time. If you don't know what it...
Ok so I'm feeling a bit strange putting a medical issue on here, but I'm not looking for medical advice. I've had Tinea Versicolor on my upper back for over 10 years. I've been to several dermatologists, tried just about every medicine there is and it comes back every time.
If you don't know what it is, its basically patches of skin with no pigment, so my back looks like I have ghost white leopard spots.
My question is, if there's anyone else out the with this issue, has anyone tried sunless tanner or spray tan? I'm going to have my hair half down to cover my back but I'm hoping there's another solution, besides make up. Thank you!

    You should be fine for tomorrow. But after a day of it looking good the rest of my body was tan and the tinea spots were white and dried out flakey spots. Like a leopard. It was horrible.

    Mine was too but the spray tan dries you out. But if it’s totally cleared you should be totally fine. Keep treating it Though. From my understand it’s never fully goes away.

    I have this as well.. I actually use Lotrimin AF. It takes a few applications but I have found that it does help. As long as it has Clotrimazole in it, it should work. Don't buy the Lotrimin AF Ultra because it does not have the Clotrimazole in it.. I made that mistake once before.

    Try using PH-D feminine health Boric Acid Vaginal Suppositories - I have struggled with Tinea versicolor as well for years now. BUT for some miracle reason this vaginal suppository product has COMPLETELY changed my skin troubles. I suppose it has something to do with killing the yeast or fungal infection up from the inside out.. it's AMAZING AND HAS CHANGED MY LIFE

    They sell the boric acid vaginal suppositories at Publix and Kroger too I believe but definitely Publix has it in the aisle by feminine care
