Many causes: Autoimmune disease may be considered, but often the white patches are related to sun exposure and allergic skin conditions. Fungal infections are another consideration. I would recommend using a gentle fragrance free soap, sunblock cream and seeing your PCP for autoimmune disease and diabetes screening.
