You : You are going to have to see a dermatologist for a complete evaluation. Since they are coming and going, it could represent hives though it is atypical. It could also represent a vascular disease such as reynaud's. If the white patches stay, it could represent vitiligo or tinea versicolor, but it sounds like they come and go. Please have a complete evaluation for your symptoms as they are very unusual.
