I saw yesterday 3 small white skin patches on my face.i recently started using propylthiouracil for a mild hyperthyroidism.could it be drug side-effec?

Unlikely: New hypo pigmented skin spots have a broad differential diagnosis . It is unlikely to be due to PTU (propylthiouracil). See a dermatologist .
