I am noticing a steady increase in white patches on my skin. Not sure if this is Leucoderma or some kind of infection or deficiency of some vitamins.

Cannot help until I see the white patches. It may be fungal infection called tinea versicolor. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
