Hello,
You seem to have pityriasis Alba which are ill defined hypo-pigmented spots in those who have a dry skin. Apart from regular use of moisturizer, I suggest you to also use a mild topical steroid e.g either Hydrocortisone or Desonide cream, twice daily.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
