Hi,

It may be Tinea versicolor.

Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

It is a superficial fungal infection caused by yeast..melassezia furfur. Antifungal tab.ketoconazole 200mg daily for few weeks and application of antifungal cream like sertaconazole cream might cure the disease.

I hope this would help.

Thanks.
