Possibly vitiligo?: It could be a condition known as vitiligo in which the pigment producing cells in the skin no longer produce pigment and you end up with patches of white skin. Unfortunately, if this is what you have, there is no cure but there are medications and therapies that variably either slow the progression of the disease or sometimes even restore color but many have unwanted side effects.
