The test to confirm it is 10% KOH preparation. It can be done by your dermatologist by scrapping the scales of your pityriasis versicolor lesion and then observing it under the microscope.
Next Steps
For this test, you will need to physically visit a dermatologist near you who is performing the test.
Health Tips
Some doctors may also perform Wood's Lamp examination for confirmation.
