Suggest Treatment For White Blotches Between Breasts

I have white blotches between my breasts and fanning out towards my collar bone. Blotches are not located on my actual breast or below. 3-5 similar white blotches have been identified below my rib cage as well. What is this condition and recommend treatment? Thanks.

You might be suffering from pityriasis VERSICOLOR.

Topical Ketoconazole and oral Itraconazole is commonly used for the treatment of pityriasis VERSICOLOR.
