Brief Answer:
Either post inflammatory hypopigmentation or previtiligo
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph .
It is looking like either previtiligo or post inflammatory hypopigmentation to some unnoticed injury or infection.
If I was his treating doctor I would recommend him to apply topical steroid like hydrocortisone cream in the morning and tacrolimus 0.03 percent ointment at night on these hypopigmented areas.
These need to be continued for 3-4 weeks to see any response but under the supervision of the doctor.
These are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
