What Are The Home Remedies For Treating Tinea Versicolor?

Hi doctor, i was diagnosed with tinea versicolor years ago. I was told that it does not go away completely but if i apply sulfur that would help. However, sulfur smells really bad and the tinea mostly appear in summer. i am wearing t-shirts to cover up and i always try to hid my body. Is there any home remedies i could use for the fungus instead of sulfur to avoid smelling?
