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 you take short course of oral antifungal drug like fluconazole as advised by your dermatologist. Apply ketoconazole cream twice a day over the white patches regularly. Use shampoo containing ketoconazole and selenium sulfite for rinsing daily. Maintain hygiene. Hope you will get fine soon Thank you Dr Hardik Pitroda
