What is the best way of getting rid of persistent tinea versicolor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medication: According to the mayo clinic, if tinea versicolor is severe or does not respond to over-the-counter antifungal medicine, you may need a prescription-strength medication. Some of these medications are topical or oral, including: ciclopirox (loprox) cream fluconazole (diflucan) itraconazole (sporanox) ketoconazole (nizoral).
