Pityriasis versicolour
by Dr. Yiannis Neofytou
Pityriasis versicolour is a non-inflammatory superficial fungal infection of the skin that occurs mainly in young people and adolescents of both sexes.
Pityriasis versicolour causes spots of different colors (depending on the phototype of each), which have a light scale and are located on the back and upper part of the chest and arms. During the scraping of the plates, dandruff and slightly greasy scales fall.
Treatment
Variegated dandruff is a persistent form of fungal infection and should be diagnosed by a dermatologist. The treatment is done with topical antifungals in the form of lotions or gels. Your doctor may also recommend a shampoo with ketoconazole or selenium sulfide for daily shampooing, as the fungus settles on the scalp.
If the patient does not receive treatment, the fungus develops over years. But even if cured, it often relapses due to insufficient treatment time or predisposition.

MESOPEN
Mesopen is an alternative form of mesotherapy. It helps the penetration of active substances, creating portals of entry into the skin barrier with the creation of controlled micronulls, thanks to its specially designed head (pen with 12 tiny titanium pins), without obvious skin injury. Through this mechanism of action, the penetration capacity of the active substances increases.
