Frequently Asked Questions
- Does tinea versicolor ever go away?Tinea versicolor can sometimes go away with treatment. But if you don't use proper antifungal treatment, the patches can take several months to return to their normal color. Untreated tinea versicolor can also increase your risk of experiencing repeat infections.
- Which deficiency causes tinea versicolor?Having a vitamin D deficiency can sometimes increase your risk of tinea versicolor indirectly because the deficiency causes a weakened immune system—a common risk factor for this type of infection.
