Hi,

Sun or UV exposure may cause pigment changes such as freckles and  white spots especially on the legs and backs of the hands and arms. This occurs due to destruction of melanocytes . Other differentials include tinea versicolor or even vitiligo, depending on the extent of depigmentation. At your age, cancer is usually not included in the differential. If it persists, have this evaluated further for proper management.

Take care and regards.
