How To Differentiate Between Vitiligo And Nevus Depigmentosus?

I am a 22 years old Caucasian male in Latin, since I was two years old, I had two white spots, one close to my mouth and the other one just right in my neck, these spots have remained stable so far, now they look normal white, but before they had a milky appearance, I’ve gone to three dermatologists and they said they do not know if it is vitiligo or nevus Depigmentosus, worth mentioning that I have no family members with vitiligo, but the strange thing is that since he was thirteen poliosis present on the chin, aparecieron lentigines en la mancha cercana a mi boca, lentigines appeared in the spot near my mouth, one of my spots is just on the perioral area, so I don’t know If I have Focal Vitiligo or nevus depigmentosus, What do you think about it doctor????
