It is dominated by ''vata kapha dosha'', fine powder falls after scratching and resembles color similar to flower of ''alābū''. The specialty of disease is that it is mainly seen in urabhāga i.e. trunk. Tinea versicolar is a condition characterized by a skin eruption on the trunk and proximal extremity. The symptoms of this condition include; fine scaling of the skin producing a very superficial ash like scale. Pale (sveta), dark tan (arun), pink in colour (shukla rakta avabhasani) with a reddish undertone (tamra) that can darken when the patient is overheated, such as in a hot shower or during/ after exercise, tanning typically makes the affected areas contrast more starkly with the surrounding skin leading to sharp borders. In people with dark skin tones, pigmentary changes such as hypopigmentation (loss of colour) are common while in those with lighter skin colour hyperpigmentattion (increase in skin colour) is more common. The yeast is thought to feed on skin oils (lipids) as well as dead skin cells.
