I am a 38 year old male. Every summer I get infected by tinea versicolor on the face and neck. Is there a permanent cure for it? Please advise.

Tinea versicolor is a fungus which grows mostly when your skin is hot and moist. It is difficult to cure it permanently. But you can prevent it by keeping your skin dry and using topical antifungal creams and powders.
