Weird patch of skin?

I have a weird path on my arm that’s been there for the past few months and I’m not sure what it is. It doesn’t itch, here’s a photo. It’s a lighter, white patch with redder skin on the edges. It’s hard to see in the photo, but The redder skin is kinda flakey, like it’s dry. I tried putting moisturizer on it and it doesn’t help. There’s no irritation at all and I don’t remember anything happening to me on my arm. Does anyone have any idea what it is?

    The whiter skin with red flaky skin surrounding it sounds like it could be ringworm. Keep an eye on it and get it checked out.

    It’s just sunburn or tiredness
