| | Tinea Versicolor - Quest Diagnostics Patient Health Library |
| | Tinea versicolor (also known as pityriasis versicolor) is a fungal skin infection characterized by many small spots that usually appear on the oily parts of the upper body, typically the chest and back. | | | While the yeast responsible for the condition is present on everyone's skin, some people are more susceptible than others to developing tinea versicolor. | | | As these fungi grow in number, their natural balance on your skin is upset, the normal color (pigmentation) of your skin changes, and spots appear. |

| | Another common disease that frequently presents as hypopigmented areas is tinea versicolor. | | | The usual distribution of tinea versicolor is below the jawline to the waistline, most often involving the upper trunk. | | | It's appearance is somewhat seasonally dependent because the areas of tinea versicolor are more likely to appear hypopigmented in summer because they do not tan normally, while the slight and often inapparent additional scale in these lesions often leads to a slightly darker appearance of the tinea versicolor in winter in comparison to normal skin. |
