Two small patches on the skin

2017-10-16 11:41:36
I have two small round patches on the forearms. One has been there for 2-3 months. Slightly lighter in colour that the rest of the skin. No itching. Today, saw a similar patch after it itched due to dryness. It also looks similar to the earlier one.
