Abstract
Malassezia species are members of the normal cutaneous flora. Their habitat is primarily the skin of mammals and birds, with the highest counts being on the areas rich in sebaceous gland such as head and upper trunk. It undergoes conversion from the yeast to the mycelial form, which is then able to invade the stratum corneum.
They are most frequently associated with pityriasis versicolor, which presents with flaky discoloured patches that heal without permanent skin discoloration
