black mexican king

my black mexican king is about 8-9 years old, and has what looks like pigment lose in random areas. There are no raises in the skin or bumps. just a loss of coloration. i read that this could be a fungal or bacterial infection. any thought. more spots appear every shed.
thanks
aaron

Best get a vet check to see what's up with that, not the kind of thing you should treat without knowing what it is. Antibiotics can make fungal infections worse, antifungals can be harsh and irritate skin infected with bacteria.

It's best to get a culture done.

I agree with you should go to a vet.
