Treatment of Pitiriasis Versicolor in Children

Therapeutic Options

• In children, topical treatments should be the first therapeutic option due to their favorable safety profile, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics 1
• The American Academy of Dermatology suggests that topical tacrolimus 0.1% has shown efficacy in facial lesions in children with other dermatoses, although it is not specifically indicated for pitiriasis versicolor 2
• Proper cleaning of combs and brushes is recommended to avoid reinfection, as suggested by the American Academy of Pediatrics 1
