Brief Answer:
Either naevus depigmentosus or vitiligo, keep under observation
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have reviewed the attached photograph.
It could be either naevus depigmentosus ( most likely) which is a type of birth mark or vitiligo which is an autoimmune depigmenting disorder of the skin.
Just keep it under observation as nothing needs to be done at this satage.
If it increases or similar new spots appear then you need to get it evaluated.
