Hi i think it is pityriasis versicolor or p.alba or early vitiligo.lighter color indicates it is pityriasis versicolor rather than vitiligo where it is milky white color.it can be cured by flucanazole 150 mg weekly once for 4-6 weeks and application of nizral cream twice daily and application of candid tv shampoo 15 min before bath on the lesions can cure it
