hello
from your description it seems like pityriasis versicolor which is a fungal infection.
it occurs due to heat and humidity. hence it is recurrent.
you will need a prescription for tablet fluconazole given as a single dose.
also bathing twice a day and using clotrimazole dusting powder after bath will be helpful.
take care
