Superficial skin fungal infection,apply antifungal
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have seen the attached pictures.
You seem to have developed pityriasis versicolor which is a superficial fungus affecting the upper back ,chest and upper arms in most people.
You should avoid application of any oil or moisturisers over the affected area .
Apply an antifungal agent like Canestan or candid cream over the affected areas twice a day . Use this medicine regularly for at least three weeks .
The skin color will take some more time to return to normal even after the infection tends to heal .
Wear cotton clothes as much as possible to reduce sweating.
