The seasonal characteristics of summer are indeed closely related to some skin diseases, such as the common prickly heat. Prickly heat usually occurs in the wrinkles of children or some fat people.

Tinea versicolor, also known as tinea versicolor, is a chronic fungal infection of the superficial skin caused by Malassezia furfur. It is more common in summer and autumn, and the skin lesions are mostly located in areas rich in sweat glands, so it is commonly known as "sweat spots". The skin lesions mainly manifest as round or quasi-circular macules the size of soybeans, covered with thin, light brown bran-like scales on the surface. Old lesions are hypopigmented spots. The subjective symptoms are not obvious and may be slightly itchy. The skin lesions are prone to occur in areas rich in sweat glands such as the trunk, armpits, face and neck.

If the infection by this pathogen is prone to relapse, the treatment should be thorough to achieve the goal of complete cure. You can refer to the following methods:

(1) Ketoconazole is taken orally, 200 mg at a time, once a day, after meals. Take it for 10 consecutive days. Note that it is forbidden for those with liver damage. You can also take itraconazole orally, once a day, 200 mg each time, after or during meals, for one week.
