Brief Answer:
Tinea versicolor
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the image.
I have seen the image attached. It appears to be Tinea versicolor, do continue the ointment given. If the ointment given by dermatologist is not helping you can apply MICONAZOLE ointment applied twice daily. This may take time but will disappear without any mark.
