Hi
This could be a relapse of tinea versicolor.
Do u have dandruff? In that case there is also a possibility of seborrheic dermatitis.
Relapses in both cases are common and you might be advised a maintainence therapy once you have completed the intensive course of treatment.
Regular application of ketoconazole based shampoo applied appropriarely might help.
Hope this helps
