Depigmented lesions of pityriasis versicolor: A diagnostic dilemma with review of literature
Journal Title: Nasza Dermatologia Online - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Pityriasis versicolor is a superficial mycosis affecting the skin. It is caused by malassezia species of fungi. Common sites of involvement are chest, neck and shoulders. We report a rare case of pityriasis versicolor affecting both arms and dorsum of both hands but sparing the commonly involved sites and masquerading vitiligo.
