i think i have tinea. i guess if i go to a GP will he be able to tell for sure i have tinea and if so prescribe me medicine, or should i go to a dermatologist?Can i go to a regular GP doctor or should i go to a dermatologist for tinea versicolor?
Your GP should be able to prescribe this for you. If it's an uncomplicated case, it should be easily treated. If the initial treatment doesn't work or if the doctor doesn't feel comfortable treating you for this, they may recommend you to a dermatologist. Go to your GP first though, it will save you time!
Good luck!Can i go to a regular GP doctor or should i go to a dermatologist for tinea versicolor?
As a dermatologist, I hate to say this, but I would think (and hope) that a GP would be able to recognize and treat a case of tinea versicolor.
Neither making the diagnosis nor killing the fungus is a great trick requiring any expertise. Not getting it back may take divine intervention, which may be in short supply even with the specialist.
