Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The white patches are probably related to vitiligo.
There is no specific treatment for vitiligo.
The exact cause is unknown, but it may be due to an autoimmune disorder or a virus. Vitiligo is not contagious.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
