Tinea versicolor and vitiligo are two different diseases. Vitiligo is an acquired skin disease characterized by patches of depigmented skin. Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection that causes the affected skin to change color and become either lighter or darker than surrounding skin. To accurately diagnose your disease you must visit a dermatologist.
