Hello,
Welcome to HCM
According to history provided by you its seems problem is not a grave.
White spots in many paediatric patient is common,Most of the time it is because of vitamins deficiency.
Such spots usually fade away with increase in age.
But if these spots persist say after 5 years or age or if it increses very rapidly then its matter of concern.In such case I would advice you to visit nearby skin specialist.
Happy to help you out
Thank you,
