Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

From the description given by you it appears to be Tinea Versicolor that is fungal infection of the skin. Exact diagnosis can only be confirmed by visual inspection of the lesion.

Rest be assured there is no cause for worry.

Take care

Best Regards
Dr T Shobha Deepak
