I Have Had These Spots Terrasil And Selsun
Question: Ive had these spots (I assume is tinea versicolor) for a year now. I have tried many homiopathic treatments, terrasil, and selsun blue (sleep with it on!!)
Brief Answer:
Tinea versicolor
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is Tinea versicolor, as correectly mentioned by you.
The medication tried by you is effective to some extent but for complete cure you need to take oral medication.
Take tablet fluconazole 150 mg per week ( one tablet in one weeek) for 12 weeks.
Apply clotrimazole cream twice daily and use ketoconazole soap while taking bath.
Do this for 3 months for complete cure.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
