Hi

These white spots may be fungal infections called tinea versicolor. This is fairly common and this may be a likely differential here. Tinea versicolor unlike tinea corporis presents with light patches of skin over the areas. There is a mild central scaling which may itch once in a while.

Have you applied any medications yet?

Fungal infections may flare given changes in temperature and humidity.
