TINEA VERSICOLOR ( SKIN FUNGUS)


Tinea Versicolor, also known as pityriasis versicolor is a skin infection caused by fungus. It is found mostly in young people. Any person infected with this will have discolored patches on his skin. These patches can be light or reddish-brown in colour. It is neither a permanent nor a serious infection. Tinea versicolor mainly affects skin on the chest and back. It affects only the top layer of the skin. It is a non-contagious disease. The tinea versicolor rash generally appears on the chest and back and is more common in adolescents than in adults. The fungus that causes the infection feeds on the natural oils that are found on the surface of the skin and so it is theorized that people with an oily skin have a higher risk of suffering from tinea versicolor as compared to those with a dry skin.


The most common symptoms of tinea versicolor are light brown or white patches on the skin. 
These patches are most noticeable during summer season. Rashes on the trunk are one of the symptoms. Generally rashes of tinea versicolor do not appear on the face. Itch on the patches, which become more intense with sweat or overheating. The rash caused by the tinea versicolor fungus can sometimes be mistaken for other skin conditions and rashes such as vitiligo. 

A tinea versicolor infection generally causes a distinctive pattern with larger patches of discoloration surrounded by smaller spots. An individual with tinea white spots may also experience slight scaling of the affected area but this will produce a very fine powdery dry skin layer and not thick scales as is common with other skin infections. Tinea versicolor itching is uncommon in mild cases but may be present in moderate to severe cases. Another peculiar feature of the tinea or pityriasis versicolor rash is that the affected patches are most prominent when the skin is slightly hotter than usual. 

Thus, it is very easy to spot tinea versicolor patches if an individual has been exercising or has been in for a hot shower. This change in color is most noticeable in people who have darkened patches of affected skin as compared to those with lighter patches. The border of the affected patches is very easy to distinguish and is the same color as the rest of the patch. This is another important aspect of the tinea versicolor yeast rash as most other skin conditions cause rashes that have darkened edges. Tinea versicolor and ringworm are often mistaken for each other and this can affect the results of the prescribed treatment. The dermatologist may recommend a KOH Preparation which is a test that is used to determine the presence of a fungal infection and to isolate and establish the exact type of fungal infection.

Treatment for tinea versicolor depends upon the overall health, age and medical history of the infected person. Since tinea versicolor is caused by fungus, you can apply OTC antifungal creams twice daily. Apply antidandruff shampoo that contains selenium sulfide on the patches. Take bath daily, this will remove dead cells and fungus from your skin. Make sure that you use a soft scrubber or a loofa as this will help to get rid of the upper layer of dead skin which contains the fungus. You could have a shower with lukewarm water or slightly warm water but avoid bathing with hot water. Hot water showers tend to strip the skin of all its natural oils and this causes the sebaceous glands in your skin to produce excess sebum. Ketaconazole is a very effective treatment for tinea versicolor and so you could use a shampoo containing this fungicide to help prevent the spread of the skin discoloration. You could also use a tinea versicolor cream or medicated lotion to decrease recovery time.

There are also several tinea versicolor natural treatments that you can prepare at home as these home remedies for tinea versicolor are extremely gentle and will also help to rejuvenate your skin. It is advisable that you follow a regular skin care schedule that includes several homemade remedies for tinea versicolor. You can make a homemade body scrub for tinea versicolor by lightly grinding a handful of unpolished rice so that you obtain a coarse flour. You can add a few spoons of fresh tomato juice to this flour until it forms a paste. Shower as usual and then apply this paste all over the affected areas of skin. Allow the paste too remain on your skin for about 5 minutes and then gently massage it into your skin. The tomato juice is acidic in nature and this prevents the spread of the fungus. The rice flour contains several nutrients that are essential for skin health and since it is also coarse it serves as an exfoliating agent. You may also use apple cider vinegar for tinea versicolor as vinegar is acidic in nature and provides a hostile environment for fungus and thus helps to control the spread of the infection. When treating tinea versicolor with home remedies, it is important that you keep in mind that it may take a while for your skin top regain its original color.

TREATMENT FOR TINEA VERSICOLOR

Tea tree oil is a very potent natural fungicide and there are several tinea versicolor tea tree oil remedies that you can use to treat this condition. It is important to dilute the tea tree oil with a carrier oil before you use it as tea tree oil is an essential oil and contains very strong natural compounds. Mix equal quantities of tea tree oil, olive oil, and sweet almond oil and use this blend of oils after your shower instead of a moisturizing cream.


"" I have been working on a remedy for over 1 1/2 years! I finally have come up with the right combination to battle fungal infections of the skin.

Tinea Versicolor is a skin fungus that causes the affected skin to change color and become either lighter or darker than surrounding skin.

My daughter who is extremely fair skinned has had this condition for several years. Prescription ointments and creams as well as a prescription anti fungal pill did not work for her in fighting this fungal infection.

Since we believe natural is healthier and effective We have been concocting various oils, lotions, and balms over the past year to fight this fungal infection of the skin.

I have come up with a pomade that has been effective!
My daughter has been applying this pomade for a couple of months now and it is making progress in ridding her skin of this fungus.

I have used the essential oils of lavender, eucalyptus, menthol,neem,cedarwood, peppermint, oregano, and thyme. Blended into my base of organic castor oil,Ingredients: Castor oil, organic calendula oil,carnuba wax,Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil (and) Hydrogenated Castor Oil (and) Beeswax (and) Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax.

Apply this twice daily to skin that is infected with fungus.
This is a 1 ounce container. Convo me for larger size

Selenium Sulfide has been proven to be very effective in the treatment of tinea versicolor and so there are several tinea versicolor remedies that involve the use of Selenium Sulfide shampoos. The Tinea versicolor selsun blue remedy is one of the most commonly used tinea versicolor treatments and when used for a prolonged period has remarkable effects. To use this remedy, you will need to stand under a warm shower for a few minutes and then lather your body with this shampoo. You would need to leave the lather on for 5 minutes or so and then use a loofa to gently exfoliate your skin. You can repeat this procedure once more on the affected areas of your skin. This tinea versicolor selsun blue remedy will help to treat the condition as well as prevent it from spreading. You can also continue to use this remedy twice a month for the next few months as it is also an excellent preventative method and will prevent the recurrence of tinea versicolor. Even if you know how to treat tinea versicolor, it is best that you speak to a dermatologist before your decide on a treatment method. Tinea versicolor on the face is very rare but when it occurs it can be extremely prominent as facial skin tans easily. When you have tinea versicolor, tanning in any form should be avoided.


Sunbathing at the beach and tanning beds will only make the discoloration prominent. There has been a lot of research towards finding out if tinea versicolor is contagious and unfortunately there is no definite consensus. Since the fungus that causes tinea versicolor is naturally present on our skin, it would obviously follow that it wouldn’t really be considered contagious. However, some studies have found that people who frequently share personal items like clothing have a higher risk of contracting this skin condition. So although tinea versicolor is not considered to be a contagious skin condition, it would be best to avoid sharing personal items as far as possible.

  9. Tinea Versicolor Testimony of Divine healing, read whole thing!
    Tinea versioclor is a skin condition which appeared on my skin at the age of 16 being something I battled with hardship as well emotion for three years. I had it on my face, arm and body. It was visible enough for people to see it. The condition really worsened during the summer and left me feeling insecure and emotionally down as well as destroyed.
    My little brother then also went on to have the skin condition. Me and my brother both being Christians, were aware that God could do anything asked for in prayer seeing as Matthew 21: 22 states “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. If you believe, you will receive” whatever you ask in prayer”
    Seeing this scripture made us to start praying as well as attempting to embrace faith. However in every moment of trying to have faith, doubts will always come and hinder our faith. Being blessed to understand a certain bible scripture; it showed that when people became afraid that was a sign of doubt which was a trap from the devil stopping one from automatically receiving what they asked for in prayer. The scripture which displayed this to me; was the story of peter walking on the water. Peter was walking on the water for some time until he became afraid when seeing a strong wind. Becoming afraid was the act of doubt which made him to now start sinking. Therefore when you become afraid you fall into the devils trap of doubt which stops you from automatically collecting whatever you asked for in prayer.
    Becoming “afraid that God isn’t working and being afraid that your faith isn’t working instead of indulging in faith and belief is what stopped me and my brother from getting rid of the skin condition. Through this understanding we now prayed every morning about this situation and would mediate on the line of “when you become afraid you will fall into the devils trap of doubt which stop u from receiving what you asked for in prayer”. Meditating this stops you from having doubt; and honestly from this second onwards the skin condition was being tackled and the skin condition of tinea vesicolor left me and my brother. Since then praying in the Jesus s name as well as meditating the line above given us the faith to tackle the skin condition.
    After praying in Jesus s name for God to get rid of the skin condition, If at any time when meditating that line it isn’t working then reading a bit out of the 4 gospels of the bible and praying will be able to uplift your spirit and make you to have the holy power to meditate the line successfully and receive what asked for in prayer. The more you read the bible and pray, the more you feed your spirit and the stronger you get; making to successfully mediate the line and making you to be healed.
