Help! i have white patches on my legs from - is it eczema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be...: Dry, scaly, discolored patches on legs could definitely be eczema. See your primary doctor to confirm. In the meantime try applying twice daily moisturizer like Vanicream to area and OTC hydrocortizone cream to see if lesions resolve. May need a prescription strength steroid cream if more severe.
