Do you mean tinea versicolor? My boyfriend has it- and dandruff shampoo works alright, but you have to lather it on and keep it on the blotches for about 30 minutes before you wash it off. You also have to do this reguarly, almost daily and they should fade in a few weeks. There's also a yeast infection cream that works well- but I forget which one it is, you can't use any one, though, it has to have a certain ingredient in it. We just started trying colloidal silver and it works really really well. Buy some and spray it on. I bought some b/c I have been sick with cold/flu sympotoms for over two weeks. Colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic among other things. It immediately attacks the bad bacteria, fungus and some viruses and immediately kills them. If you ever have a cold, take some of it and literally your symptoms are relieved in seconds. Try it on your skin rash if you feel comfortable doing so after some research. Some people who take it in high doses or for extremely long periods of time turn blue.
Tinea, a fungal infection, is commonly treated with antifungal creams, gels, or shampoos. In some cases, oral antifungal medications may be prescribed. It is important to keep the affected area clean and dry, and to avoid sharing personal items to prevent spread of the infection.
