dear patient. you are suffering from tinea versicolor,a fungal infection caused by a fungus which is normally present on human body. i advice you to use a topical ketoconazole cream.,nizoral topical cream instead or along after using shampoo.this way the cream formula will prevent dryness and itching.Your patches white patches will take 1-2 months to heal and dissappear. so you have to be patient till then. always remember these infections happen due to excessive sweating or not drying yourself completely after taking a bath. any part of body with excessive moisture will cause this problem hope i answered the question
