Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and it could be pityriasis versicolor which is a superficial fungal infection of the skin.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
