About 8 months ago i tanned myself in a solarium. I was dumb enough to lie too long and got pretty burned. However an area formed like a triangle, about 5 cm in length, pointing outward from the corner of one my eyes, did not get red or dark, it remained the same as before. As the red went away my skin tone looked even again. This summer i have been outside and gotten brown but now this spot is lighter that the rest of my skin again. Also, when i get red in the face after a hot shower or workout, the difference in skin tone is more pronounced. The spot next to my eye is never red but always light brown/beige. Once after a hot shower i had a burning feeling in the light area. What can be the cause for this?
Can it be vitiligo? Yeast infection? Loss of pigment after burning my skin? Im really hoping it's some kind of infection that can be treated. I don't feel like going to a doctor cause i know im gonna get laughed at.

For your information, i've had eczema earlier in my life and have treated it with hydrocortison in my face, although not at the suffering area. I still a little bit of eczema on my arms but i don't treat it.
