Pityriasis versicolor, also known as Tinea versicolor and caused by Malassezia, referred to as Pityrosporum, a dimorphic lipophilic fungus, manifests with distinct skin lesions presenting as hyperpigmented or hypopigmented finely scaly macules primarily affecting the trunk, neck, and proximal extremities. This condition follows a self-limiting course, lasting for years untreated; however, recurrence tends to be more prevalent post-successful treatment. A ten-year-old male child exhibited a dry, scaly white hypopigmented lesion on the neck persisting for one month, with resolution achieved through the administration of individualized homoeopathic medicine Arsenicum album (30C) over two months and recurrence not reported. These case findings indicate the potential utility of homoeopathic remedies in managing Pityriasis Versicolor.
