Coconut oil is known for its soothing effect on tinea versicolor

Condition analysis:
Our stories are similar. I've been with my boyfriend, who has tinea versicolor, about a year. We're both in our mid 20s. I never had any skin problems before, and I just started getting spots that look just like his. He assured me it's not supposed to be contagious, but I don't know why else I would get it. I read that being on birth control can make you more susceptible to it and I'm wondering if that's how I was able to get it from him. I just started treating with Selsun Blue shampoo. I'm hoping that works, but I'm looking into other treatments as well.

Instructions:
1. Virgin Coconut Oil:
Coconut oil is known for its soothing effect on the skin. It keeps it nourished and moisturized as well. You can use this beneficial oil to treat Tinea Versicolor. All you need to do is massage the oil on to the infected parts every day to effectively treat it. Its natural acids will help heal your skin and eliminate the infection.

2. Eucalyptus Oil:
This is another wonderful oil that can help in the treatment of Tinea Versicolor. Mix 5 to 10 ml of this oil, 5 to 10 ml of tea tree oil and 100 ml of Aloe Vera together. Apply this mixture to the affected areas 2 times daily after you shower. You will notice a difference in 3 days or so. To prevent the infection from recurring, continue using this home remedy for as long as possible.
