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.

Sometimes the skin can blister.
Tinea versicolor: Fungus overgrowth on the skin can cause a fungal infection or tinea versicolor. This type of fungal infection causes changes in skin color and begins as small white spots. Normal treatment for tinea versicolor uses topical antifungal or oral medications.
