Thanks for posting your concerns. Some times Depigmentation occurs due to worms infection. You need take tablet for worms. If required anti fungal cream has to be applied.

Greetings. White patches on on the face could be due to sun allergy / pmle or due to pityriasis alba. Please see a qualified dermatologist for adequate evaluation and treatment. Use a good sunscreen daily in day time and moisturiser at bed time. Hope this helps. Further queries may be sent on follow up messaging. Warm regards.
