Disease Ontology: A superficial mycosis that is a chronic, superficial fungal infection of the skin caused by malassezia furfur, which is characterized by well-demarcated white, pink, fawn, or brownish lesions, often coalescing, and covered with thin furfuraceous scales.⁶

MalaCards: Pityriasis Versicolor, also known as infection by pityrosporum furfur, is related to gastritis and peptic ulcer. An important gene associated with Pityriasis Versicolor is CAT (catalase). The drugs sodium thiosulfate and terbinafine and the compounds l-nmma and selenite have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin.
