If you have tinea versicolor, it's best to follow a simple daily skincare routine. This will help clear it up and may prevent it from coming back.

Other tips to help prevent versicolor

  • Keep skin clean and dry
  • Dry yourself completely after bathing, especially between the folds of skin
  • Apply powder to reduce perspiration
  • Use your own towel; never share a towel with anyone
