Tinea Versicolor

Tinea versicolor is a superficial fungal skin infection caused by yeasts of the Malassezia genus. It presents as depigmented or hyperpigmented spots, often accompanied by fine scales, typically on the trunk, shoulders, or neck. Although it is benign, it can be recurrent and requires antifungal treatment to prevent its progression.
