The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is Pityriasis versicolor which is a fungal infection. You must avoid heat and humidity. Topical antifungal creams like clotrimazole can be used along with oral antifungals like fluconazole after consulting your dermatologist. Regards
