Tinea versicolorFrom our partner site on skin cancer, SkinCancerConnection.com. Pityriasis versicolor Treatment: Topical antifungal agents are effective in eradicating the lesions. These medications include clotrimazole, ketoconazole, and miconazole. Over-the-counter dandruff shampoos applied to the skin for 10 minutes each day in the shower may also eliminate tinea versicolor. Expectations (prognosis): Though tinea versicolor is easily cleared, pigment changes may last for months after treatment. Recurrences may be seen each summer. Calling your health care provider: Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop symptoms of tinea versicolor.
