Tinea Versicolor

Asked for Male, 28 years

I have tinea versicolor & I get it almost every summer. Is there a permanent treatment to it? I also do have a very scaly scalp and there are these flakes peeling of my scalp, even shampoos don't work. I would really appreciate if you could tell me a treatment or solution to my these problems

Dear Patient,

This condition is caused by a normal organism of skin and some people are more genetically predisposed to catching it than others. It is just something you cannot completely cure or avoid. you could use selenium sulfide/ketoconazole shampoo once a week to delay the tinea versicolor.
Try combing your hair daily for 5-10mins with thorough gentle strokes through the hair. oil your hair regularly. Hydrate well. for a detailed examination and longterm treatment meet with our specialists.
