yellow patches

Discolored lawn areas

Yellow patches are discolored areas with a yellowish hue appearing on surfaces, skin, or materials.

On lawns, yellow patches typically indicate disease, drought, or nutrient deficiency.

On skin, they may signal bruising, jaundice, or other conditions.

The phrase describes the visual symptom rather than any specific cause: The doctor noted yellow patches on his palms.
