Is Mid-lower Back Pain And Yellowish Skin Patch On Chest Related?

I recently discovered two patches of yellow-ish skin on my chest that were non-existent the day before. I m also experiencing some mid-lower back achiness as well if this helps matters any. Are the two possibly related and, more importantly, is there a cause for concern with these symptoms?

hello,I can see you have asked three questions. Let me answer them one by one. I do not think your back pain is related to any skin lesion. Are you having any itching in these lesion or burning sensation. As herpes zoster lesion can be associated with back and side pain but lesion are not patch but small blister. I would ask you to wait if patches increase or diminish. if number or size of partches increases, you should see to a skin specialist.
