Please see the web pages for more details on Tinea Corporis.

She may have yet another fungal skin infection called tinia versicolor. You may notice this on the back and shoulders. There are lighter areas or skin that are somewhat spherical. They itch, usually after a warm shower or from warm/hot weather. Dandruff shampoo applied and left in place for ten minutes then rinsed can sometimes do the trick. It should be done at least twice daily. Gentian violet has also been used to treat fungal skin infections, but most people don't like to go around being purple. However, your doctor would be the best person to ask. Try getting in to see a dermatologist.
