Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
I could think of few possibilities in your case
idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis
vitiligo
post inflammatory hypopigmentation due to harpic induced acid burns( only if it spilled over affected areas)

The diagnosis can only be confirmed by visiting a dermatologist nearby.You may also use ask a specialist service of this website to send a detailed clinical history and upload images of affected area for diagnosis and treatment suggestions.
Regards
