Symptoms of TINEA VERSICOLOR
The primary lesions of tinea versicolor are red or tan patches. After exposure to sunlight, they appear lighter than the surrounding skin, due to their inability to tan. This cosmetic defect, obvious in the summer, often brings the patient to the doctor. The lesions have well defined borders and do not scale unless scraped. The lesions start at 3 to 4mm in diameter and spread. they often join together to form large patches.
