Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM
The condition you have described is called Pityriasis versicolor, a superficial skin infection caused by a fungus.
I would recommend you take short course of oral antifungal drug like fluconazole as advised by your dermatologist.
Apply ketoconazole cream twice a day over the white patches regularly.
Use shampoo containing ketoconazole and selenium sulfite for rinsing daily.
Maintain hygiene.
Hope you will get fine soon
Thank you
