Skin patches in body
When I was 13years old in my body parts (chest, Neck, upper arm, back) some type of skin patches of brown colour have come. In sunlight it itches so much. After scratching scurf comes.
From, 11 year I am facing this problem.
I had used karpin lotion also by which the patches disappear, but after sometime it comes again.
Please, give me the appropriate solution of this problem.

This is pityriasis versicolor which is a common fungal infection. This fungus is present in scalp so anti fungal shampoo is also required apart from creams and lotions.
