by Lee Kaplan, MD. White spots on skin can be caused by a variety of conditions, including allergies, infections and autoimmune disorders. Some of the most common forms are eczema, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis. Eczema is a chronic, probably genetic, inflammatory condition that causes dry, itchy, cracked skin on feet, arms, ankles, face and chest. Scratching can make it worse, actually thickening the skin. Sometimes the skin can blister.
Unless these spots itch and fester, they are most likely either a skin fungal infection or vitiligo. These 2 skin conditions are the most common causes of white spots on the skin. They often appear on the back and shoulders and sometimes, they are found on the face and the limbs. Tinea versicolor is a yeast infection.
