How it's used
Refers specifically to discolored patches or spots on the skin, often associated with fungal infections or pigmentation issues. It is frequently used in a medical or descriptive context when discussing skin conditions that are not simply pimples or rashes. In casual speech, people might also use it to describe any persistent, discolored mark on the skin that they cannot immediately identify.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 痣, which refers to a mole or beauty mark. While 痣 is usually a permanent, small, and distinct spot, 癜 implies a broader, often irregular patch of skin discoloration.
