Brief Answer:
fungal infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph. It looks like pityriasis versicolor, a fungal infection.
I treat such cases with tablet Fluconazole and an anti fungal cream. And I have seen excellent response with these in my patients. You too can try these in consultation with your doctor.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
