is a fungal infection that causes small spots to appear on the skin, also called tinea versicolor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is caused by a type of fungus that lives naturally on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when its concentration exceeds the normal range, this type of rash occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

pityriasis versicolor?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The acidic bleaching caused by the fungus causes areas of the skin to differ in color from the surrounding skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These spots can be
