A member asked:
I am a 22 year old male diagnosed with tinea versicolor and have had it for almost 3 years and have tried everything and nothing has helped?

Nothing worked?: If it's tinea versicolor and you're being treated by a physician who knows how to manage it, it will melt away. If it didn't respond to the usual treatment, i'd consider the diagnosis needs to be reviewed.
