What is this on my skin!?

Any ideas?

I've had this for about eight years. Started off the size of a 50p piece and now this. It's under boobs, on tummy. Sometimes looks red and a bit dry and flaky, other times so faded you can barely see it.
Doesn't hurt, doesn't itch, doesn't cause any discomfort or problems other than being very unsightly. It's nowhere else on my body.
Drs aren't bothered by it. Most recent Dr said it's melasma (it isn't) and that there probably isn't a lot we can do. So I am calling upon the power of Mumsnet, what the fuck is this?

Versicolor

@Atomicspider a quick Google and this sounds and looks identical to what I have!

It is easily treated iirc with a prescribed anti fungal cream

@Atomicspider followed your advice, purchased the most appropriate cream and IT'S GONE! After 8 years of it taking up such a huge space on my body I can't tell you how happy I am!
Thanks!
