I have brown patches on the back and the neck. They started spreading over my shoulders and to my stomach. They appear white after I take a shower but otherwise appear as brown patches when dry. I had this few years ago, back then I consulted a doctor and I was given medication. Now I have moved to a new country and I consulted a physician who ruled out fungal infection. Not sure what it is.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor From your description it looks like satyriasis tricolor. When you stretch the skin over the patch do you notice fine scales over the patch. That is a sign usually seen in satyriasis tricolor. It is caused by a yeast species. 4OOMG Fluconazole tablet single dose is a good treatment for Satyriasis tricolor. Local application of ketoconazole 2% cream twice a day will give additional benefit. You may get these prescribed by your doctor. Hope this helpedTake care
