Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection that can cause hypopigmented (lighter than normal skin color) or hyperpigmented (darker than normal skin color) macules on the back, chest, arms, or neck. It is commonly seen in young adults, and is caused by an overgrowth of the yeast Malassezia. Red papules on the face (choice B) may indicate acne, rosacea or another skin condition. Crusted plaques in the groin area (choice C) may indicate a fungal infection such as tinea cruris. White streaks on the neck (choice D) may indicate a condition called pityriasis alba, which can also cause hypopigmented patches on the skin.
