Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM
The condition you have described is called pityriasis versicolor, a superficial skin infection caused by a fungus.
I would recommend a short course of oral antifungal drugs like fluconazole or itraconazole.
Additionally, you may require use of antifungal cream (ketoconazole etc) as advised by your dermatologist to completely cure the infection.
Use of ketoconazole soap can additionally be helpful.
Maintain hygiene and avoid junk food and refined sugars.
Hope you will get fine soon
Thank you
