<human>: 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.
<bot>: 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
