Thanks for the query. It do appear as P alba or PMLE,a Wood's lamp will be helpful to differentiate some other close mimickers. Meet a qualified Dermatologist to understand the situation better. It should be easy to treat though recurrences may happen. Preventing recurrences is what you should discuss with your Dermatologist. Hope it helps you.
