White light spots on the face, back and behind the ear, another issue is itchy red bumps on body that turn into pimple with scabs after a few days?

Q: white light spots on the face, back and behind the ear, another issue is itchy red bumps on body that turn into pimple with scabs after a few days?

: If the white spots were not caused by old inflammation, the could be due to an autoimmune disorder called vitiligo. The itchy red bumps which turn into pimples could be inflammatory changes in hair follicles. I think it would be worthwhile to consult a dermatologist for evaluation and advice.
