Original caption

Tinea versicolor is often mistaken for age spots since it presents as tan or slightly white areas of skin. Tinea appearance often becomes more obvious after the summer due to sweating and tanning. Tinea is due to a common skin yeast called malasezia which can been seen on a scraping done in the office by your dermatologist. #tineaversicolor #dermatologist #fyp
