It presents as hypo or hyperpigmented macules with fine scale that coalesce into patches on the trunk, neck, and/or arms. Presented in this report is a 34-year-old man with an interesting case of folliculocentric tinea versicolor manifesting as perifollicular hypopigmented macules on the lower back.
