Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

It seems that probably you may be having superficial fungal infection called Tinea versicolor. It is caused by melassazia furfur. It is a benign skin condition with tendency to spread on face,neck,trunk and upper extremities. There may be itching also.

I would suggest..

- antifungal cream like ketoconazole cream
- antifungal tablets like ketoconazole
- antipruritic like levocetirizine tablet
- avoid soap bath

However, you consult the dermatologist to have perfect treatment.

Thanks..

Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
