Hi,
From your description, probably you are having a condition called pityriasis versicolour. This is a superficial fungal infection of the skin that will respond to anti fungal ointments like ketoconazole, and occasionally needing oral drugs. Kindly discuss with a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam T. K., Pediatrician
