Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you are having pityriasis versicolor.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 3 months.

Thanks.
