dc.description.abstract	Pityriasis versicolor presents as scaly hyperpigmented or hypopigmented macules on the chest, abdomen, back and proximal extremities. The atrophying variant is very rare. We report a case of a 40 year old female who presented with atrophic hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules with fine scaling all over the body with sparing of the face. The clinical differential diagnosis considered were atrophying pityriasis versicolor, atrophoderma of Pasini and Pierini, anetoderma, morphea, systemic lupus erythematosus and dermatomyositis. Biopsy findings supported the diagnosis of atrophying pityriasis versicolor.	en_US
