Help! I've Got White Spots
Summary:
Fungal skin infections can be both uncomfortable and embarrassing, but effective treatments are available. Whether through topical or oral medication, addressing the issue may not be as daunting as it seems.---
Fungal infections are quite common and can often be a nuisance. A notable example is tinea versicolor, a superficial yeast infection that causes persistent white spots on the skin.
Causes:
The yeast responsible, Pityrosporum orbiculare, is naturally present on the skin. Regular washing usually removes dead skin cells and excess yeast. However, during humid summer months or when the immune system is compromised, this yeast can multiply rapidly, disrupting normal skin pigmentation and leading to unattractive spots.Teens and young adults, regardless of skin color, are most commonly affected, particularly those with oily skin. In tropical climates with constant high humidity and temperatures, people of all ages can experience these spots year-round.
Symptoms:
Tinea versicolor presents as flat spots ranging from white to pink, tan, or brown. These spots typically appear on the upper arms, chest, back, neck, and face, varying in size from small dots to large patches. While scaling may not be obvious, it can be easily revealed by scraping. Mild itching can occur, especially when sweating or feeling hot. Spots on the neck or face can be particularly troublesome.What to Do:
If you notice white spots or skin discoloration, consult a dermatologist. Often, a visual examination is enough for diagnosis, but sometimes a microscopic analysis might be needed. Under a special light or chemical preparation, the yeast's presence can be confirmed.Treatment:
Tinea versicolor can be treated with topical or oral medications. Topical antifungal creams, ointments, or shampoos containing selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, zinc-pyrithione, imidazole, among others, are typically applied once or twice daily. Sulfur soap and salicylic acid are also effective in eliminating the yeast. Resistant cases might require oral antifungals. Remember, skin color may take several months to return to normal after the yeast is eradicated, so consulting a dermatologist is crucial before starting any treatment.Recurrences are common, and medicated cleansers might be needed to prevent relapses. Keep your skin dry and wear loose, breathable clothing to discourage fungal growth. Discuss preventive options with your dermatologist.
