what's pityriasis versicolor

Pityriasis versicolor, sometimes called tinea
versicolor, is a common condition that causes
small patches of skin to become scaly and
discoloured.
The patches may be darker or lighter
than your normal skin colour, or may
be red or pink. They tend to develop
gradually and may join up to form
larger patches over time.
The areas most often affected by
pityriasis versicolor include the trunk
(chest and tummy), neck, upper arms
and back.
Although it may look unpleasant and
the patches are sometimes itchy, pityriasis
versicolor is harmless. However, it is one of
the most common skin diseases in tropical
and subtropical areas of the world. People
who live in tropical areas may have tinea
versicolor year-round....

the reason for opening bringing up this topic is that, my friend has the disease. the drug he was recommended has shown little improvement(LORATYN_10, ITRACAP AND HAICNEAL SHAMPOO) if there's any other drugs that can improve/stop it. please, recommend.

doctors in the house should say something nah.

Or before
