Help identifying rash on my chest?

I've had this rash for several months, at first I thought nothing of it but its been there so long now, and now seems to be expanding. The bottom patches were original ones, and the patches above are relatively new.

The rash isnt itchy, its not raised, flaky or anything. Its just a patch of darkened skin.

The two possibilities I thought from research are ringworm or tinea versicolor. TV seems more likely but both of these conditions involve bumpy rashes and itchiness, which I don't have. The rash doesn't bother me at all, I'm only concerned because it has begun to expand.

Id rather not go to the doctors right now owing to the covid situation so any help or advice people can offer me is appreciated.

Thanks

Mmm, not sure as it's not itchy or raised, but you have a good photo there, so you could maybe get a phone conversation with your GP rather than a visit.

Dear blite,

I could be wrong here, so please do see your Doctor(s), but... I think this is a Fungal Infection, quite common in Immuno-Supressed people. This HAS 'happened', to me, although not recently. What I used was with 'Selsun' Shampoo, which contains Selenium Sulphate- a Toxin, which you apply to the skin. However Please DO see 'someone' before you start using this.

I think a 'chat' with your GP might be an idea- difficult as that might be, at the moment.

Good luck blite.

I have this too in my groin, I'm been seen by Dermatology and I'm none the wiser, they've discharged me bizarrely. Have you found out what it is?
