terrasil Tinea Versicolor Cream (1.7oz)

Ok. I rarely write reviews, which makes me a hypocrite because I always read them. I had to for this product, for me it has made a difference in just a week, I’m amazed. I got a rash about 2 months ago, no big deal, it started to spread, doctor misdiagnosed me and gave me topical steroids, made it worse and skin started to darken. I had bad skin my teenage years and finally had nice skin and it was quickly going downhill, I was so upset. I googled my symptoms and saw photos of what looked exactly like my back, tinea versicolor. I started this with little hope but wow, so glad I did. Works amazing for me. Still applying until this large tub is gone (unless you have very small patch, you’ll need this size) I’m thrilled this is helping me, I hope this review might help someone else suffering from this kind of outbreak.

This really works well relieving my itching the smell is not bad it helps to remove the bumps that caused the itching.

I cant believe i found something that actually worked for these stubborn itchy spots!! This stuff is amazing! 10/10 recommend.Its a little greasy but it doesn't have a bad smell like most soaps an lotions ive tried. But this worked wonders

Although this product did not work for me, I do want to acknowledge the sellers great customer service. They did reach out to me and offered to compensate.

Bottom line: If you battle with tinea versicolor, give this a whirl. I have had to deal with it for 20 years and this was the fastest topical treatment and more effective than other "prescription strength" topical solutions. The only thing as quick as this was the oral medication, but that is hard on the liver.More detail:I have only used this for treatment on my arms so far. I used this in conjunction with the Terrasil Tinea soap. My method: Shower in the morning, allowing the soap suds stay on the skin for several minutes before rinsing. After fully dried, I applied a thin layer of this ointment. In the evening, I washed with the soap and again allowing the suds to sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Again, after fully dried apply a thin layer of ointment. Right before going to bed, I would blot the remaining oil to prevent it from staining bedding. I do recall reading at least one other reviewer that stated this caused their tinea versicolor to spread. I can tell you that I initially thought this was happening to me, but I continued using and it all went away. At least in my case, I believe the "spreading" was only some tinea versicolor that wasn't initially as visible to become visible while it was getting treated.Pros:Quick - got rid of the Tinea Versicolor in just under a week.No walking around smelling like sulfur as with some topical treatments.Not a prescription so easy to get.Cons:The ointment will stain some fabrics which is why I haven't tried it in other areas.The treated area will turn "brown" when exposed to the sun. The color will go away.Questions for the Manufacturer:Instructions/answers could be clearer. Because of the oiliness and the staining, can this product be as effective if it were blotted dry after a period of time? Such as 'apply a thin layer and can be blotted dry after an hour'. Just an example if you know how long it needs to be in place to be effective.Is the oil portion of this essential to the effectiveness? It would be great if you had a cream or something that could just be rubbed in and not worry about an oil that stains fabric or rubs off on whatever is touched.

The formulation has been changed and does NOT work!!!My first tube worked great! My second tube does not work which prompted me to see the ingredient change!! I went back to purchase the 6XPower but it has changed to 6XAction. The ingredients are different and it does NOT WORK like the first tube!!! Waste of money! Don’t buy it’s a waste of time & money!!!

This tinnea product may work well for some. But you need to know that it is very sticky with beeswax if you want to live with that on your skin, it stays on a very long time. As I live in the tropics I didn't particularly want this coating on my skin in the heat during the day, although the odor is pretty inoffensive. It is suggested to be applied morning and night but I didn't want to get it on my sheets either. So it's not the best concoction for my lifestyle and without applying it regularly I can't attest to its effectiveness. I cannot distinguish between sun damage (small scars) and tinnea, although use of selsun gold and tinnea soaps seem to have diminished the white spots somewhat. I am going to try the liquid applicator of tinnea treatment to see if that works better for my situation, although iving in the tropics may mean I'm a spotted person for life. Also this product began to smell rancid after months at tropical temp, so I put it in the fridge but now it seems stronger--not a deal breaker, it is still a pretty neutral odor once it is on, but it may work better for someone who vacations in the tropics and picks up tinnea and then uses this product in a more temperate climate. And who hasn't had it for many years. And isn't in their seventies with sun damage.

Worth the price, worked fast for intertrigo under breasts. Feels tingly and soothing when applying. Had been using generic clotrimazole for over a week, started using this and my rash was gone in a few days.
