Tinea versicolor is a condition characterized by a skin eruption on the trunk and proximal extremities. The majority of tinea versicolor is caused by the fungus Malassezia globosa.
糸状菌症(Pityriasis versicolor)は一般的な皮膚真菌感染症です。それは、細かい鱗屑を伴う暗い斑または明るい斑として現れます。胸、背中、首、腕などに多く見られます。 Pityriasis versicolor, also known as tinea versicolor, is a common, benign, superficial fungal infection of the skin. Clinical features of pityriasis versicolor include either hyperpigmented or hypopigmented finely scaled macules. The most frequently affected sites are the trunk, neck, and proximal extremities.
思春期前の子供の場合、通常の感染症は体と頭皮の白癬ですが、10代の若者や成人では水虫、股部白癬(jock itch)、爪真菌症(onychomycosis)になることがよくあります。 In prepubertal kids, the usual infections are ringworm on the body and scalp, while teenagers and adults often get athlete's foot, jock itch, and nail fungus (onychomycosis).
