    anyone have Tinea versicolor?



    been getting real pissed off lately, i have this shit on the back of my neck and all over my upper back. i look like i have some contagious disease. people say " u got something on the back of ur neck" when really its just my skin disease... Tinea versicolor...


    i never had this ever in my life till i started working out. (18 years old) and then it just started getting worst and worst..

    its caused from sweating and then it drying or something.


    i got it in middle of forearms. neck and back. and a little on my chest.



    doctor told me to rub selsun blue and take some cortizone pills and it helped a little but its still horrible looking.

    anyone have this disease? any tips on how u control it? because this is bull shit. the only time i can take off my shirt is in a club when its dark and bitches dont notice it. but i cant walk around shirtless without bitches noticing it and having them turned off. was gonna cut but **** it. getting big and bigger. **** getting low body fat if i cant take my shirt off. **** u shitty skin disease. i dont even give a **** about my health. wait till i go to the derm. im getting the strongest damn cream. even if it makes me die 10 years earlier.. cuz this is complete bullshit... i know it could be worst. but it still ****ing sucks.

    its just skin fungus right, try some anti-fungal tabs, ketoconazole or the newer itraconazole. keep it at a low dose and just a short course though.

    I get it every summer. Really bad. I use ketoconazole to get it under control. I'm going to look into the itraconazole.

    Get a ketoconazole shampoo/shower gel, rubb it in, wait 5 minutes, then water off... Combine that with a antifungal creme(terbinafine).

    1x a day the shower/shampo
    2x day the cream

    After a week it should be better/gone.

    After the first week, 2x per week is a good regime to prevent it from comming back...

    In extreme cases, you need the tabs to get rid of it systematicaly.

    Not sure if thats what I had a couple years ago or not, but looks similar. I had it on my back and middle of my chest. Girl that was waxing me at the time said to use white vinegar and alcohol 50/50 ratio and rub it on area. I did that for couple days it dissapeared and has never come back.

    Sporanox is the original. you may also be able to find various other cheaper generics
