Hi! Tinea versicolor is caused by the fungus Malassezia, and can be treated with topical agents such as 2.5% selenium sulfide oitnment (prescription strength) which are applied on the affected area and left there for 10 minutes (or overnight). Oral antifungals (such as ketoconazole) can also be used, although being an oral drug, this is has more risks than ointments. If these don't work after 2 weeks of use, maybe you have something other than tinea versicolor.
As always, see your doctor for the best advice.
