White spot on Arm

2024-11-16 11:23:44
Are these sunspots or idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis? I noticed the first picture about a month ago and the second picture today. I use to run a lot during high school and never wore sunscreen. I only started wearing sunscreen this year. Not itchy, feels about the same as regular skin but maybe a little smoother. So what was it called ?? Is it any deficiency or anything else ?
