Google the following: tinea versicolor.
Don't apply anything on it that has oil, if that's what it is. Does it come back again in summertime, then slowly disappears towards winter? During summertime you apply lotions on his skin... and the sun makes our skin excrete more oil to the surface of the skin, too... the tinea versicolor fungus feeds on the oil.

it might be the amount of blood getting to those spots but if that's the case it'll be ok.
