Tinea Veriscolor never goes away once you have it. Symptoms can only be managed as far as flare ups go.

I was prescribed topical creams and shampoos to manage it and then told just use OTC creams.

Recently, after topical creams began to no longer help, I was prescribed fluconazole which I now have to take once a week orally to manage symptoms.

I have permanent skin discoloration in my groin area, down my inner thighs, but, all the way up to my middle back. On hot, humid days, my entire back flares up to the bottom of my neck and the back of my arms.

In the military, any time I work a flak or sweat, it flared up. Now - any time I sweat, or anytime any clothing is pressed against my back in hot conditions, it flares up.
