What Causes Small White Patch And Flakiness Of Skin After Tanning Treatment?

Had what appeared to be a small bruise last week but the light purple/gray has faded and now I have a small white patch of flaky looking skin surrounded by light pink where the bruise was. Any thoughts? I am concerned because I went tanning before a vacation recently and used to tan in high school.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you have not mentioned the area or site of these lesion it would be difficult to advise anything without knowing the body area or site, such lesion could be nonspecific, just wait for some time this may vanish on its own, hope for detail query next time and that will be most appreciated, take care.
