Hi,
White patches in your skin can be related to many causes:
- It might be a fungal skin infection (tinea versicolor.)
- Pityriasis alba, or vitiligo.
You should consult a dermatologist to put for physical examination and proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
