The condition ur having from the discription u have given is A common fungal infection that causes small, discoloured patches of skin. It's called
Pityriasis versicolor. It is caused by an overgrowth of yeast on the skin. It most often affects teens and young adults. The condition isn't contagious.
It requires a minimum of 3-4 months of treatment. Topical application with oral anti fungals is what is needed.
