Have you noticed small white or red spots appearing on your skin after sun exposure? Here’s what may explain their appearance and how they can be managed.

If the spots are widespread, keep coming back, or do not improve, it is best to consult a dermatologist to confirm the cause and choose the appropriate treatment.

For people who experience this problem repeatedly during the summer, a doctor may sometimes recommend using an antifungal wash or preventive treatment, depending on the individual case.

Note: Not all white or red spots are caused by tinea versicolor. Therefore, a medical diagnosis remains the best way to determine the actual cause
