Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to fungal infection called tinea versicolor. If you send a picture of that then it will be more helpful to identify. For such case in my patient i usually advise fluconazole tablet orally weekly once for 1 month along with terbinafine or ketoconazole lotion for local application. Ketoconazole soap or powder also can be used.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
