    I think its Tinea versicolour which is caused by a fungus which lives on your skin. Nothing to be alarmed about but it can spread. try washing with a dandruff shampoo...especially one with selenium sulphide as the active ingredient, also get some fungal ointment with clotrimazole in it and use after washing. You need to persevere with the treatment. Work the shampoo into the areas and wash off after 2 minutes. If you can get someone to help you with this it may be easier to pinpoint all the areas.
