White patches on skin not vitiligo

2017-11-11 06:51:08
So i have these white patches all over my skin diameter between 1-3 mm . Ive seen some doctors they said it is not vitigo. Also I don't think it is idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis because when i googled it .it says this happens due to long exposure to sunlight. And i don't think if my back have that much exposure to sunlight but still i have lot of these patches on my back. Im 21 year old male and i have these since i was 3.i had ese only on my legs now they have grown to my whole body not face
