Hi,
For light colored skin patches,one differential here is tinea versicolor. This is a fungal infection and this may be acquired from skin to skin contact. Are there other family members with a similar skin condition?
Fungal infections may be chronic ( lasts for 6 months or more ) and as in the case of tinea versicolor may not readily resolve.Tinea versicolor may actually cause the affected skin to stay lighter than the normal skin.
I suggest that you have this assessed by a dermatologist.Microscopic evaluation of skin scrapings from the affected areas may help ascertain if this is caused by a fungal infection.
