Pointers With Portela: How to Treat Tinea Versicolor

In this week’s Pointers with Portela, the 208SkinDoc gives his best product recommendations for Mother's Day gifts.

Dustin Portela, DO, a board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon at Treasure Valley Dermatology in Boise, Idaho, reviews how to treat tinea versicolor and how to keep it from returning. The bothersome rash typically appears in the summertime and is caused by a type of yeast that lives on the skin of many people.
