Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that if it is without itching it might be leucoderma. I suggest you have a skin patch test preferably a skin biopsy.
Direct immunofluorescence will aid to the conclusion. Steroid cream preferably with some antifungal agents and the oral pigmenting agent would help you. The oral steroid may be advisable depending on the condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
