CAUSES
Pityriasis Versicolor is caused by yeast of the genus Malassezia .It is produced in the humid conditions by the prolification of the lipophilic yeast , Malassezia furfur , which is a part of the normal flora of the human skin.
Usually Malassezia speciaes grow in the seborrhoeic areas – Scalp , Face and Chest – without causing any rash. It is easier to demonstrate the yeasts in scrapings taken from the brown types of Pityriasis Versicolor than from the white type. The pale type of the PV is thought to be due to a chemical produced by Malassezia that diffuses down and impairs the function of the pigment cells in the underlying skin.
