What Causes Right-sided Yellow Patches Of Skin Below Chest?
Question: I noticed a yellow patch of skin on just below my right chest, near the fold of the skin, yesterday. It's not itchy or painful. There appear to be red horizontal scales on it, and some parts are blue. I have been applying a anti fungal cream, but it's not reducing.
I am a 33 year old male.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I had seen photograph you have uploaded, this might be related to fungal infection or local inflammation of the skin.
You should wait and watch it for next 2 to 3 days , if it increases in size or colour then you need to see a doctor for physical examination
Meanwhile wash it with antiseptic soap or solution and apply any moisturiser in place of antifungal ointment
Hope this answers your question
Regards
