A member asked:

Have tinea versicolor.i took 400mg itraconazole for 7 days.its been 6+months but hypopigmentation still on myback.will diamondpeel help or tan in sun?

Tinea Versicolor: Regrettably this is very difficult to overcome. If you have not already done so I strongly recommend a consult with a dermatologist. I would not use diamond peel or tan in the sun until you have seen that specialist.
