I hate patches so hard to say parasite or bacterial as they can flick with both.
Best to go on the gills first do they look pale or inflamed and red.
Is the patch fluffy or just bleached out.

the patch may be a scratch injury perhaps the platy was having a little scratch and injured it's tail. I had a similiar kind of pale white film on one of my red platies and it was an injury from a tussle with a yoyo loach. However keep a close eye on it and watch for little white spots like salt on your platies.

White poo can be an indication of a bacterial infection, to constipation, or internal parasites.
I would add some melafix for now to see if that helps.
And try some shelled peas on the fish.

Cook frozen peas in boiling water for a few minutes, let cool down, pop out of shell, mush between fingers and add to the tank, good for clearing the fish through.
