Abstract
Pityriasis versicolor is a chronic superficial fungal disease. It is usually localized on the upper part of the chest or on the back, neck, or upper arms. Lesions may be red, brown, or white. They are often slightly scaling, papular, or nummular, or they may coalesce to involve larger areas of the body. The conidia and short hyphae of the lipophilic yeast Malassezia furfur (syn. Pityrosporum orbiculare) can be detected by microscopy.KeywordsAtopic DermatitisSeborrheic DermatitisPityriasis VersicolorHuman Stratum CorneumTinea VersicolorThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
