This is a condition called Pityriasis versicolor is a common yeast infection of the skin, in which flaky discoloured patches appear on the chest and back. Pityriasis versicolor usually clears up quickly with treatment. But the skin patches may stay discoloured for weeks or months. Treatment depends on the skin type and the extent of spread.
