White Skin Lesion: Without a visual, it is hard to say. Does it look like an area of depigmented skin? Sometimes an area of chronic eczema with all the scratching and inflammation will lose its normal skin color. There are other possibilities: http://www.Rightdiagnosis.Com/sym/flat_white_skin_lesions_in_children.Htm. I would make an appointment with a dermatologist to check it out.
