The overgrowth of the yeast which causes Tinea Versicolor can be controlled with topical applications or oral medications. Since the medicines prescribed by your doctor have side effects avoid those. You can apply antifungal cream prescribed by your doctor.

A successful natural home remedy for Tinea Versicolor is as follows:

Apply a shampoo containing 2.5% selenium sulfide (or Selsun Blue) to the affected region.
Leave it for 10 mins and wash off.
Do this everyday for 7 nights, then once a week for a month and then once in every three months. This also prevents recurrence.
