What Causes White Spots On Skin?
6. How Is Tinea Versicolor Treated?
This disorder often flares in hot and humid conditions, which means that it frequently goes away on its own when the temperatures drop. Often, the spots reappear in warmer weather. Treatment with anti-fungal creams can help get rid of the spots, particularly if it begins early. Milder symptoms may be lessened with over-the-counter ointments.
For more severe symptoms, it may be necessary to treat the condition over a longer period of time. It can take several weeks, sometimes months, before the skin returns to normal. If OTC anti-fungal creams do not work, it may be necessary to contact a dermatologist for a stronger treatment approach using oral or topical medication.
