Abstract
The well-recognized sites of involvement in pityriasis versicolor are the upper part of the trunk, the neck and the upper arms. There is little documentation regarding pityriasis versicolor lesions in flexural areas. To study the occurrence and morphology of lesions of pityriasis versicolor in flexural areas. One hundred and ten cases of pityriasis versicolor were studied. Sites of lesions and other clinical features were determined. Flexural lesions in pityriasis versicolor were not uncommon. They were not correlated to age, sex, duration or relapses of the infection. Thorough inspection and examination of the skin by Wood's light before establishing treatment is prudent in cases of pityriasis versicolor located in typical sites.
