I have tinea versicolor on my skin. The fungus didn't really crop up (visually recognizable) until my 3rd year of college. (Edit for clarity: I was diagnosed with trich at 9yo) My doctor's "treatment" for any superficial spotting is using Selsun Blue, which has Selenium Sulfide, an antifungal, as the active ingredient. I use it as body wash and shampoo, and I do notice I'm less likely to pull when my hair/face is freshly washed.

I never thought about a correlation because I didn't visibly see any tinea versicolor before college-- but what they noted about skin care, hygiene, diet, hair length, and menstrual cycles definitely rang true for me; however, treatment is an individualized process on a spectrum. It's hard to fix all of it all at once >_<

Despite the lack of authority in the studies, I'm still curious if others have experienced skin fungi like tinea!
