Hello,
From your description it seems like you have a fungal infection called pityriasis versicolor. It is caused by an yeast called malasezzia. Only soap won't suffice. Soap is good as a preventive measure.
You may take 400 mg of Tablet Fluconazole single dose. A topical lotion containing selenium sulfide (Eg: Candid TV) can be applied liberally over the affected skin 10 minutes before washing it off during bath for two weeks. Get this prescribed by your doctor. Hope this helped,
Take care.
