AB  - A  young  boy  is  brought  to  the  office  by  his  parents  with  a  2-year  history  of  his  skin  turning  white  on  his  trunk  (Figure  126-1).  The  boy  denies  any  symptoms.  His  parents  are  afraid  that  he  has  the  same  thing  that  Michael  Jackson  had  (vitiligo).  The  clinician  does  a  KOH  preparation  of  the  white  skin  and  finds  the  spaghetti  and  meatball  pattern  of  Malassezia  furfur  under  the  microscope  (Figure  126-2).  His  parents  are  relieved  to  receive  a  prescription  for  the  tinea  versicolor  and  to  find  out  that  it  is  rarely  spread  to  others  through  contact.
