I have developed multiple tiny white/light-coloured spots on my legs. The spots are almost the same size and appeared after repeated/severe itching in the area. They are not painful. I want to know what possible conditions can cause this pattern. Whether it could be post-inflammatory hypopigmentation, vitiligo, fungal infection, or something else.
