A rare case of inverse pityriasis versicolor shows effective antifungal treatment, highlighting early recognition.
Inverse pityriasis versicolor (PV) involving the groin and scrotum is an uncommon presentation of PV.

Early recognition allows effective antifungal therapy, preventing chronicity and recurrence.
