Abstract
Abstract: Pityriasis versicolor is a chronic superficial fungal disease caused by Malasezzia furfur. Pityriasis versicolor can infect the face, neck, trunk, upper arms, underarms, and groin. Pityriasis versicolor is characterized by scaly patches of fine white or dark, irregular to regular shapes, and clear to diffuse limits. However, pityriasis versicolor is generally asymptomatic, therefore, commonly people do not realize that they are infected by that fungi. This study aimed to determine the profile of pityriasis versicolor at Dermatovenereology clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital from January to December 2013. This was a retrospective descriptive study based on the number of cases, sex, age, occupation, color of lesion, location of lesion, and type of treatment. The results showed that there were 36 cases of pityriasis versicolor, mostly were males (58.3%), age groups 15-24 years and 25-44 years (30.6%), and private workers (27.8 %). Most lesions were hypopigmentation (80.6%), located on the body area and the combination of the face, trunk, and extremities (38.9%). The most commonly prescribed treatment was topical antifungal therapy (77.8%).
