I was diagnosed with ezcema a few years ago. Every now and then my ezcema flares up and I start to itch. However, this has been tolerable with medication and goes away eventually. Recently, I started to notice the skin area around my nostrils peeling. It's very dry and it hurts with a burning pain. It has also started to turn abit white. The docter says it's got nothing to do with the gentle facial wash I'm using and I don't use cosmetics. She says it could be an ezcema flare up but she can't say for sure. I don't think it's an ezcema flare up because it does not itch? Could this be the start of the vitiligo disease for me? This is my biggest fear. Please help!

Umm I do not think so, no link between eczema and vitiligo. However I have big white flakes at the end of my nose, because I have Psoriasis. Now their is a link, but do not ask me.
