Tinea versicolor presents with well-defined hyperpigmented, hypopigmented, or erythematous patches or thin plaques with fine scale. In dark skin tones, patches of tinea versicolor may either appear as dark brown hyperpigmentation or well demarcated pale hypopigmentation with fine scaling, highlighting the need to perform a potassium hydroxide prep to confirm the diagnosis.
