Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You seem to suffer from pityriasis alba most probably. I would advise to apply tacrolimus oint 0.01%. As it is increased by sun exposure,you avoid sun exposure. Avoid soap bath. Your may consult the dermatologist personally.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
