Brief Answer:
Possible pigmentation disorder

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

These spots look like Vitiligo, a pigmentation disorder.

Oral or topical steroids will help to resolve these spots.

Please check with your physician or dermatologist if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications.
