Pityriasis (Tinea) Versicolor Đánh giá ban đầu

Pityriasis versicolor may present as a chronic or recurrent infection and may occur in healthy individuals. This presents with multiple well-demarcated macules or patches and finely scaled plaques with hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, hence the term “versicolor.” Pityriasis versicolor tends to be asymptomatic and is mainly a cosmetic concern, but pruritus may or may not be present. This is usually found on the upper trunk, chest, back, and shoulders and may extend towards the neck, face, and arms. The lesions do not tan along the normal skin.
