Abstract
Tinea versicolor, or pityriasis versicolor, is a common, superficial fungal infection of the skin that usually causes minimal discomfort. Finely scaled, hyperpigmented or hypopigmented macules are clinical characteristics of pityriasis versicolor. The researchers at Benha University Hospital wanted to learn more about the sorts of PV patients that visit their outpatient clinics. Two hundred and twenty-six Pityariasis versicolor patients who visited the Dermatology and Andrology Outpatient Clinics at Benha University Hospital participated in this cross-sectional research. Important variations in clinical manifestation were observed. Lesions that were both hypopigmented and hyperpigmented were most common on the back and chest. We discovered that skin type III was substantially linked to recurrent PV, hyperpigmented lesions, and chest discomfort. Varicella recurrence, hypopigmented lesion prevalence, neck and nape discomfort, and hyperhidrosis were all substantially linked to skin type IV. Age, male gender, and skin type III, as well as shoulder and chest involvement, were strongly related with recurrence, while the face was significantly connected with original lesions. Moreover, no age or gender variations were seen in relation to skin type in patients with PV condition.
