A member asked:

How do you know when tinea versicolor is gone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The lesion vanish: However, you're never "cured" because the fungus that causes it is ubiquitous. You can expect to be treated occasionally for years. Nobody knows why one person gets it and another doesn't, but thankfully it's easy to manage.
