T. versicolor?: Only an examination by a physician can give you a definitive answer. One possible cause of painless non-itching non-elevated less-pigmented areas is a superficial fungal infection called tinea versicolor.

Light blotches: Light blotches can occur on a persons back if they have been exposed to sun. There is a condition called tinea versa color that causes light splotches on the back as well as arms. You should see a dermatologist.
