Hello,
A few things may be the cause of this. One is a condition called vitiligo where you can lose your normal black skin tone in patches.
Another possible cause is a fungal infection. This can also cause discoloration.
I would advise you to see a dermatologist (skin doctor) to have a look and advise you on which of these you have. With both, early diagnosis is easier to manage.
All the best.
