Child Has Yellow Rash On Chest And Back. Not Itchy

Hello, my four year old son has what appears to be a rash, which is only on his chest and back. The colour is not red but yellow, and the best description I could give would be that it looks like a lot of small bruises, but the colour of a bruise when its healing. ( that yellowish colour ) Its not itchy, and only looks dry in small areas.
