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.
One of the main causes for getting white spots on skin is vitiligo. Melanocytes present in the skin produces melanin, a skin pigment responsible for giving coloration to the skin. If melanin is secreted in less quantity or totally absent it can result in formation of white spots.
