White Patches on Skin
I noticed white patches on my skin ( mostly around the neck region , which is slowly mounting on my face) . I looked online and my patches looks similar to Tinea Versicolor . I am exposed to sun since I play cricket every weekend.

Tinea versicolor is a possibility becuase you may be prone to sweating during sport activity. Polymorphic light eruption is also a possibility. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
