hi there.
1. your concern may be idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis along with solar melanosis.
2. you can try miss d sun spf 50 sunscreen during noon time and golite lotion bed time.
3. this will reduce the tanning and also prevents further tanning.
4. start using melbuild lotion,apply weekly once on the spots bed time and expose to the sun the other day from 11-11.05 am, with out sunscreen.
this will help you in repigmentation in the white patches.
don't worry they can be cured.
