Hi, tinea versicolor is really plausible. Does it itch?

It can be vitiligo but you should ask the opinion of your pharmacist. You can try a treatment for tinea versicolor. It’s mostly benign and very common. The white spots can remain 2-3 months after you are cured or until you get the area tanned.

You can ask tour doctor to check if it’s vitiligo with a UV light but there’s no treatment for it. It would cause no harm to try a fungus ointment/shampoo first.
