tinea versicolor and dandruff

Just wondering who has had TV and dandruff or other disorders at the same time. I've read that the fungus involved in TV is also involved in dandruff, folliculitis and sebbhorreic dermatitis, so wondered how many people with TV have other problems as well (especially dandruf)

Hi, Emma.

Normal, healthy skin is pretty resistant to every kind of disease. However, skin that has only one thing wrong with it is MUCH more susceptible to everything else it can get.

The other things you mentioned are mostly related to a relative deficiency of the essential fatty acids listed on the home page.

Hope this helps.
