Hello,
Probably it will be a fungal infection known as tinea versicolor .
Other possibilities are eczema and rarely eczema. It would be better if you attach a picture in the follow up query. As of now you can apply anti-fungal ointments like Clotrimazole to look for any improvement.
If the lesion persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
