    sounds like tinea versicolor,,,,it is a fungal infection
    http://www.aad.org/public/publications/pamphlets/common_tinea.html

    you can try dandruff shampoo to wash your arms/body with,,,,also try athletes foot creams ,,,you can speak to your dr as there are prescriptions that can help also.

    i have had this for years,,,,it can come and go. the infection is easy enough to kill,,,but the discoloration can last for months/years.
