How long after tinea versicolor treatment is it okay to get a tan again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tinea versicolr: It is never ok to get a tan since this represents skin injury which may someday come back to haunt you. There is nothing special with tinea versicolor which should prevent you from going into the sun.
