Tough to know: Whitish spots on the skin can be many things. Some simple and common causes are pityriasis alba, vitiligo, tinea versicolor, eczema, a side effect of topical steroids, even a type of skin lymphoma (hypopigmented mycosis fungoides) and many many others. You should probably get this evaluated by your family doctor or a dermatologist to make sure. Good luck to you.
