DERMATOLOGY CONSULTATION

HISTORY: The patient came here complaining that he breaks up on his face whenever he shaves and he has brown spots on the chest. He has white patches on his leg that respond to Clotrimazole cream. 

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION: On clinical examination, the beard region has isolated follicular papules. Chest and upper back have pigmented round to oval macules and patches. 

DIAGNOSES: 
1.	Acne.
2.	Tinea versicolor.
3.	?Pityriasis alba.

PLAN: I advised him Cleocin T gel to be applied to the face and selenium sulfide to chest and back everyday for six weeks. I advised him that Clotrimazole may be working just as a moisturizer. So I advised him to continue using Clotrimazole, as I do not see any side effects.
