Anyone dealing with tinea versicolor?

I've had tinea for as long as can remember. It started out as a little spot under my left breast. It stayed that way until my mid-twenties when it spread a little. Not bad. In my 30's, it got on my back, but it would go away when I cut out sugar for awhile. For about a year or two now, it's been out of control on my back. It's pretty much covered the entire area. I eat no sugar - except the occasional "I didn't know sugar was in there" slip up. Like, I just found out Sriracha has sugar in it. I've limited fruits and the worst thing I eat is almond milk. I have a good amount of carbs (vegetables and occasionally white rice) - per doctor's orders and I drink tons of water. Yet, it's just not going away. I'm also on Nystatin for 8 months now. I also do apple cider vinegar almost every day.

I know my system is in chaos from the Lyme and Co. but I'm so over this tinea. I can't really apply anything to my whole back cause I can't reach back there well enough. Is there any hope? Summer is here and I want to wear tank tops, even though I don't go anywhere. Not like I can go to the beach - the fatigue is still an issue with me. I just want it gone.

Anyone have any great tips? Help?

Versicolor left a tiny bleached spot on my arm which I believe to be from yeast. These will never return to your original skin color even if you succeed in killing the yeast as the byproduct it produced has physically bleached your skin. All one can do is prevent the spread of it.

This happened just prior to my initial treatment with Fluconazole, so I will second the recommendation for it as this as it has not spread since.

Recurrent Tinea (of another kind) has been a problem for me from time to time although I believe mine is a multiple species problem.

The nomenclature of Tinea is flawed in the way that it does not identify the fungus but rather the location of the body where it occurs with the exception of Versicolor which can appear anywhere on the body.

Although they believe they have narrowed the different species of fungus which have commonly occurred respective to its location, I have seen up to 3 different species of fungus responsible for Tinea of the same name.

This assumption of known species is behind the flawed logic that it can be clinically diagnosed effectively by dermatologists who resort to empirical treatment rather than taking a skin scraping.

There is now evidence of emerging fungal disease. Although its dimorphism is not known, Funelliformis Mosseae is a prime example of emerging fungal disease in humans.

The type of ringworm I have dealt with is Terbinafine resistant and may be resistant to other antifungal medications. It produces irregular scaly pink skin patches and can recur at will.

It seems to respond to Ketoconazole creams but has yet to resolve completely indicating it can remain latent for a long period of time, considering that I have been on Fluconazole for over a year and am still subject to the occasional outbreak.

I used to check and play with www.versicolorremedy.com - organization managed by dermatologists.

They had great content free for download they had home-remedies and tips for effective removal.
I've had the fungal infection for 13 years and I can proudly say that I don't have it anymore.
