What Are The Yellow Like Marks On My Neck ?

Hi For the past 7 years I have had yellow like marks on my neck . They come and go and often look like light bruising. The marks do not hurt and are always in the same place- left and right side of my neck, near my collar bone. I had an adrenalectomy leaving me with one adrenal gland . As far as I am aware I have experienced no issues as a result of the adrenalectomy. I am a 25 year old female of normal weight/height. I exercise 4 - 6 times a week.

Thanks for the query,

A mild type of fungal infection called as P Versicolor presents like this.

Please get a KOH mount done,
