    Could be Tinea versicolor. Its fungal in origin . Try washing with an antifungal /dandruff shampoo. Look for one with selenium sulphide or Ketoconanzole as the active ingredient

    Leave the shampoo on for 2 minutes every day and wash off. If it makes it worse then stop and see your doctor.

    Only wear cotton next to your skin.
