Hello,
Yes, eczema can sometimes cause smoother patches compared to the surrounding skin due to inflammation, changes in the skin's structure, or healing processes. However, other conditions like fungal infections, pityriasis versicolor, or other dermatological issues can also cause similar symptoms.
Next Steps
It's advisable to get the patch examined by a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis. Iâd be happy to assist you further through an online consultation for personalized guidance.
