Hi i am on a 300mg of diflucan (fluconazole) 1xper week for 4 weeks regimen for tinea versicolor how do i know if its cured i have the hypopigmented lesions ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tinea Versicolor: Tinea versicolor is relatively common. It is caused by the fungus pityrosporum ovale, a type of yeast that is normally found on human skin. It only causes problems under certain circumstances. This condition can only be controlled but not cured. 4 weeks of Diflucan (fluconazole) is enough to control your current outbreak.
