Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I have seen the attached photograph.
I understand your concern.
As per details, it seems that you are suffering from a condition called P.versicolor.
It is characterised by red colored asymptomatic scaly eruptions over body mainly involving chest and upper back.
It is caused by a fungus called Malasezzia furfur.
In such cases, I prefer to advise topical antifungals like clotrimazole cream and tablet fluconazole.
Keep the body clean and dry.
Hot and humid weather are precipitating factors.
Visit your doctor so that he can examine you and give you prescription accordingly. You can share my opinion with him. I hope it helps.
Stay healthy.
