Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
There is possibilities of fungal infection, Pityriasis alba and Fifth disease.
Exact disease can be defined only after examining the disease.
You should consult with dermatologist.
You should avoid soap and shaving creams as it may cause dryness and may worsen the condition.
Thanks,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
