AB A  young  black  man  presents  to  the  office  with  a  5-year  history  of  white  spots  on  his  trunk  (Figure  147-1).  He  denies  any  symptoms  but  worries  if  this  could  spread  to  his  girlfriend.  These  spots  get  worse  during  the  summer  months  but  never  go  away  completely.  He  was  relieved  to  receive  a  treatment  for  his  tinea  versicolor  and  to  find  out  that  it  is  not  spread  to  others  through  contact.
