What It Treats
Common symptoms of Tinea Versicolor include:
Discolored skin patches (lighter or darker than surrounding skin)
Mild itching or irritation
Scaling or flaking in affected areas
Understanding Tinea Versicolor
Tinea Versicolor often appears in children as small, discolored patches on the skin, either lighter or darker than the surrounding area. While harmless, it can cause discomfort or self-consciousness as children grow.
Why Kids Get Tinea Versicolor?
Tinea Versicolor develops because of an overgrowth of naturally occurring yeast on the skin. Children are more likely to develop the condition in:
- Warm and humid climates
- Active lifestyles that lead to sweating
- Oily skin types or after using oily skin products

Our Approach to Tinea Versicolor Treatment in Vienna
At Dermestetics, we perform a thorough skin evaluation. We’ll evaluate your child’s medical history, lifestyle factors, and symptoms to develop a clear diagnosis.
How is my child's treatment plan developed?
At Dermestetics, we design a treatment plan tailored to your child’s specific needs. In my experience, combining the best treatment approach helps maintain healthy skin and prevent the condition from returning.
How long does the treatment last?
The duration of treatment is based on the degree of the condition and your child’s response to therapy. Minor cases may recover within a few weeks, while complex cases might require several months of consistent care. Our team will have regular follow-ups to help you monitor progress and ensure the condition is effectively managed.
Is my child a candidate for the treatment?
Children with the following symptoms or circumstances may benefit from treatment:
- Persistent discolored patches that don’t improve with over-the-counter remedies.
- Recurrent flare-ups, especially in summer or after sports activities.
- Mild itching that causes discomfort or distraction.
