LO is almost three. He had moderate eczema as a baby but I didn't notice this last summer. This summer his elbow is discolored. Like completely white where is should have tanned. Thoughts?

My son had a small patch similar to this earlier in the summer. I initially thought it was a patch where we missed with sunscreen, but it didn't resolve as quickly as it should have if that was the cause. We checked with his doctor a few weeks later since he had a well check anyway, and she said it wasn't a cause for concern and would go away. It went away in another month or so. I'd just keep an eye on it. Has he grown a lot lately? I suspect LO's skin was part of a growth spurt.

Same happens to my LO who has eczema, and it's most prominent on his arm. I haven't noticed it as of late. Assuming it went away.

This just popped up in my newsfeed on Facebook... Is this what it looks like? Very common apparently
