Hi! I know the sub topic on this post is pityriasis versicolor but there wasnt a sub topic for my condition but i really wanted to post this! Im 13 years old and have had pityriasis folliculitis for about 4 years now. (but i was misdiagnosed wit hacne and pityriasis versicolor) I live in a hot humid country, which is probably not helping my condition. I have it all over my back, chest, stomach, upper legs and upper arms, basically everywhere that a t-shirt and shorts would cover. Over the years it has been spreading and getting more severe. I think that it has now even spread to my face which is really alarming and embarrassing. I got diagnosed at a dermatology centre and have tried topical and oral treatments. I was resistant to both ketaconazole and fluconazole and im now trying itraconazole pulse treatment (which means i take it for two weeks, rest for two weeks and then take it again in that pattern for 3 or 4 months) Im now a week and a half into the treatment and my condition has gotten worse instead of better. I also have moderate to severe acne so im obviously very self conscious about my skin and really want to clear up or at least improve my pityriasis folliculitis! I have swimming P.E. coming up in a month and im dreading everyone finding out about my skin as the school doesn't allow us to wear sunsuits. Please reply if you have any information which might be useful! thank you! smile
