Superfic0ial Mycoses by Pascal is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Pityriasis (Tinea) Versicolor is a common superficial mycosis caused by the yeast Malassezia spp., prevalent in tropical regions with over 60% of the population affected. The condition presents with hypo or hyperpigmented lesions primarily on the torso, arms, and abdomen, and is diagnosed using KOH microscopy. Treatment typically involves azoles or selenium sulfide for smaller infections, while complicated cases may lead to conditions like Malassezia folliculitis or seborrheic dermatitis.
