Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have gone through your complaints as well as reviewed the attached photographs.
You seem to be having pityriasis versicolor which is a superficial fungal infection of the skin.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take capsule itraconazole 400 mg single dose stat and apply antifungal cream like sertaconazole cream on the affected white areas twice daily for 4-6 weeks.
For dandruff you can use ketoconazole shampoo twice weekly.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Dr Asmeet
