This appears to b Pityriasis versicolor. Its a common fungal infection of the skin. The fungus interferes with the normal pigmentation of the skin, resulting in small, discoloured patches. These patches may be lighter in colour than the surrounding skin and most commonly affect the face, trunk and shoulders. It can b resolved with basic anti fungal medication. Its not a major issue but if left untreated it can spread all over. Consult a Dermatologist for the same.
