tglidewellHe told me to take 2 at the same time one day a month for 3 months. Has anyone else ever used this for Tinea Vesicolor? With the dosage, I'm wondering how long it will take for the rash to go away. Has anyone else ever taken dosages in the way I was told? Thanks all for your help!
My doctor prescribed Ketoconazole 200Mg tablets for my Tinea Versicolor on my chest and back?

Tinea versicolor is a long-term (chronic) fungal infection of the skin.
Oral ketoconazole is often prescribed but usually only for 10 days at a time. This dosage often has to be repeated throughout the year.
Have you had the infection for sometime? If so maybe your doctor wants to ensure that you get rid of it.

I'll do that, thanks. That's why I thought that it was odd that I am only to take it one day a month for 3 months and not for a week or so. I have had it before. I've found that athletes foot cream works pretty well too. Thanks for your help!
