Are There Any Side Effects Of Using Tingle Lotion?
hi! so im a tan addict and i tan alot. i recently was tanning (in a tanning bed!) using a tingle lotion and a day later i noticed little white spots everywhere on my tummie and back. I googled this and realised that it could possibly be Tenia Versicolor. But is it possible that its just a reaction from the tingle lotion and i shouldnt worry? however, if it is tenia versicolor, i already know i can use antefungal creams (Etc) but i also know that isnt gonna make it go away for ever. is there a way that i can get rid of tenia versicolor for ever? a pill or shot maybe?

Hello there,
Tinea Versicolor is caused by yeast which harbours symbiotically on your body without causing any harm. But if the white patches become very evident then a course of topical antifungal cream should be started.
Topical Ketoconazole cream twice a day for 3-4 weeks could be applied.
Also make sure you deeply moisturise your skin after bath twice a day, as dry skin could be a trigger. Use moisturising bath soaps or mild body cleansers for the same.
Make sure your nutrition quotient is good as well. Green leafy vegetables, fruits, nuts and dry fruits if consumed on a daily basis can improve your immunity too.
Hope that helps!
