Brief Answer:
Possibility of pityriasis versicolor
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the image.
You seem to have pityriasis versicolor which is a yeast infection and presents as brown, finely scaling patches and light colored spots on neck,, shoulders, arms, chest and back. I suggest you to use a topical antifungal e.g oxiconazole nitrate cream or lotion (Zoderm e cream), twice daily for 2 weeks. In addition I suggest you to take a single tablet of fluconazole 400mg. You must also expose the affected skin with white patches to 5-10 minutes of sun.
Hope I have answered your query..Ler me know if you need any more assistance.
