Understanding Tinea Versicolor
What causes Tinea Versicolor?
The condition is caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast, which naturally exists on the skin. Factors that contribute to its growth include:
- Hot and humid climates
- Excessive sweating
- Oily skin
- Weakened immune systems
Why is Gainesville a risk area for Tinea Versicolor?
Gainesville’s warm, humid climate creates the perfect conditions for the yeast to thrive, making residents more susceptible to this condition.

Our Approach to Tinea Versicolor Treatment in Gainesville
At Dermestetics Gainesville, we take a comprehensive approach to treating Tinea Versicolor. It all begins with an in-depth consultation, where we evaluate your child’s condition using advanced diagnostic tools. This thorough analysis lays the foundation of our treatment plan for your little one.
How is my child's treatment plan developed?
We craft a treatment plan based on your kid’s skin type, the severity of Tinea Versicolor, and any contributing factors. By combining the most effective treatments, we aim to restore your child’s health and prevent recurrence.
How long does the treatment last?
It depends on the extent of your child’s condition and response to therapy. Based on my experience, mild cases resolve within a few weeks, while more persistent cases may require several months of consistent care.

Your child may benefit from our treatments if they:
- Have visible discoloration or patches on their skin
- Experience itching or scaling in affected areas
- Live in a humid environment and struggle with recurring symptoms
- Have not responded to over-the-counter treatments
