​​Thanks for the query​​. ​​This presentation can be seen with many skin diseases. The best option is to consult a Dermatologist in p​​erson to understand the problem and get it diagnosed. A proper treatment can the​​n be started. Di​​scuss the situation and hope it will be cleared in​​ few days. Don't delay the appointment. ​​ Most probably it could be erythrasma or psoriasis alba.
