ABSTRACT

Pityriasis versicolor is a superficial mycosis caused by yeasts of the Malassezia genus in their mycelial phase; in its yeast form, it constitutes part of the skin microbiota and requires predisposing or triggering factors to cause the disease. There are several clinical forms of this mycosis, the most frequent is the hypochromic variety, followed by the hyperchromic and erythematous. This article reports an uncommon clinical variety of pityriasis versicolor called vitiligoid or achromic in a 19-year-old man. The interest of this communication lies in the differential diagnosis with other hypo or achromic dermatoses, especially with vitiligo.
