Your symptoms are suggestive of tinea versicolor. Tinea versicolor is a fungal infection of the skin. It's also called pityriasis versicolor and is caused by a type of yeast that naturally lives on your skin. When the yeast grows out of control, the skin disease, which appears as a rash, is the result. You will require an antifungal tablet, antihistamine and antifungal topical cream. These following steps may help:
- Avoid using oily skin products
- Reduce your exposure to the sun. Exposure to sun may trigger or worsen an episode and a tan makes the rash more visible.
- Do not wear tight clothing.
- Change undergarments regularly
- Wear breathable fabrics such as cotton to decrease the sweating.
- Keep areas where there is sweat accumulation dry regularly and apply powder in those areas to reduce the moisture.
If the problem is persistent I would advise you to meet a dermatologist.
