What Causes A Light Colored Rash On My Chest And Shoulders?
I have a light colored rash on my chest and shoulders. I've had it for four days now, and it does not seem to be getting any better. There is no explanation.... no new foods, lotions, etc.... and it doesn't itch. No cold symptoms either. At what point should I see a doctor?

Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
Such light colored asymptomatic rash can be due to many reasons like P. versicolor, P.alba and many more.
I will advice you to visit your dermatologist at the earliest so that condition can be controlled in its initial phase before it spreads and involve the other parts of body.
Or if possible you may send pics of the lesions so that i can actually visualize them and come to a conclusion.
Stay healthy.
