Hello,
Without examination, it is difficult confirming a diagnosis but it can be pityriasis versicolor. It is caused by a fungus that lives in the skin of almost all adults. FactorsFactor ix complex that can cause the fungus to become more visible include high humidity and immune or hormone abnormalities. Treatment involves topical and oral antifungal medicines.
My sincere advice is to consult a dermatologist and get the medicines prescribed. I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
