White Patches On The Abdomen. No Pain Or Itching. On Medication For Thyroid. Could These Be Fat Deposits Or Fungal Infection?

Hello I have several areas on my abdomen and on under my right breast that are various circle sized, The are is white in color with a very pale red around the outside. They do not itch or bother me at all, they are just there. I am taking medication for my thyroid, and I take Lisinipril, altenol, savella and metformin. I am overweight and thought maybe this could be fatty deposits. My doctor said its fungal and recommended topical cream. It did not help. I should tell you that I have recently started to take Raspberry Ketones to help with my weight, and it seems that is when I have noticed these white markings. I hope you can help, Thank you Debbie in Phoenix Az
