Maybe you should go to a skin doctor? What you describe about the black armpits does not sound like Tinea at all...are you sure it's Tinea? Google Tinea for pictures, because it's white patches. :)Replied By Lorraine (Netherlands) on 08/21/2015
Quantumnerd, tinea versicolor literally means fungus of opposite color.
White spots will occur on tanned skin. Light/untanned skin however, will get dark spots.
Did you google it yet? I see plenty of pictures where one has dark spots. I myself have white spots on my shoulder and neck, but near my armpits they are darker then the untanned skintone.

HI! I have tried everything for years as well and now its spreading faster. What is the product called? you didn't mention the name.Replied By Steven (Florida) on 07/05/2020
Same experience for the most part. I've had this plague my entire life (40+ years). I have tried almost everything with no lasting results. This summer has been really rough, I've been working outside sweating like crazy and the TV is rampant. I remembered that I had some anti-fungal foot powder and said heck it. I applied it all over myself with a house duster, would you believe its gone in just a few days? Amazing!
