Dear Sir
It is not Bartonellosis. From the clinical picture provided it appears to be Tinea Versicolor which is fungal infection of skin and skin folds.
Exact diagnosis will depend on examination under Wood lamp and further collaborated by Skin scrapping examination. I would suggest you to consult your Dermatologist for further clinical examination
