White Spots On Back. Could It Be Tinea Versicolor?

Today I found a few white spots on my upper back about one inch in diameter. I think it might be tinea versicolor which is like a fungal infection, and I think I got it from my cat because when I was about to bathe her a week ago she freaked out and crawled down my back, sinking her claws into that part of my back. Could it be tinea versicolor? It also hurts a little too.

I never heard of a cat spreading T.V.???.also T.V is painless.Cats can give humans infections...ie claws have all kind of bacteria..then they puncture your skin like little needles x 10....

I also have white spots on my back. They were little at first and they've slowly gotten bigger. They are the size of quarters. They don't hurt but they get bigger over time. I don't know what they are.
