Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Mycology

Background:

  • Pityriasis versicolor is a common superficial fungal infection.
  • Topical corticosteroids are widely used for various dermatological conditions.

Observation:

  • An atypical presentation of pityriasis versicolor, termed pseudoatrophic, has been identified.
  • This condition is characterized by cutaneous atrophy.

Findings:

  • Pseudoatrophic pityriasis versicolor is specifically provoked by the prolonged application of topical corticosteroids.
  • The 'pseudoatrophic' nature indicates that the observed atrophy is reversible.

Implications:

  • Highlights a potential side effect of prolonged topical corticosteroid therapy.
  • Suggests the need for careful monitoring and judicious use of topical corticosteroids in managing pityriasis versicolor.
