Sun spots, clinically known as Tinea Versicolor, are a common skin condition caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the skin’s surface. This yeast is normally present in small numbers on normal skin, and they can become overgrown on anyone regardless of the skin type. The overgrowth causes uneven skin color, scaling, and sometimes itching. The fungus also interferes with the normal pigmentation of the skin, resulting in small, discolored patches. The discoloration may be more apparent on dark skin, but the infection can affect anyone regardless of skin color. In the right conditions, such as warm, oily, and moist skin, the yeast can overgrow and cause a rash, consisting of tan, pink, brown, or white patches. Although it is an infection, it is not contagious, as the yeast normally lives in the skin.
