tinea versicolor - #17582

A few months ago, I noticed these weird patches on my shoulders and upper back. At first, I thought it was just dry skin or maybe some kind of tan line, but then I realized the spots weren’t going away. They’re light in some areas, darker in others, and they kinda spread over time. It doesn’t itch much, but when I sweat, it gets worse—almost like my skin feels extra sticky or irritated. I finally went to a dermatologist, and they told me it’s tinea versicolor. They said it’s a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the skin. They gave me some antifungal creams and a medicated shampoo to use, but even after weeks of applying it, the spots are still there. They fade a little, but then they come back, especially in the summer. It’s embarrassing, to be honest. I feel like I can’t wear sleeveless tops or anything that shows my back because the patches are so visible. I started reading about natural treatments, and that’s how I came across Ayurveda. I want to know if Ayurveda has effective remedies for tinea versicolor because the medical creams don’t seem to be fixing the root cause. Are there specific herbs or oils that can actually clear up the infection? Also, I read that diet plays a big role in skin health. Could certain foods be making my tinea versicolor worse? Another thing is that my skin is naturally oily, and I live in a humid place, so I feel like that’s making it harder to get rid of. Does Ayurveda recommend any lifestyle changes to stop this from coming back? I don’t want to rely on antifungal creams forever. If anyone has treated tinea versicolor with Ayurveda, did it work long-term? I really need something that actually gets rid of this for good.
