Hello dear, Welcome to healthcaremagic. I have read your query and understood your concern. .
Such white patches on face which goes off and come spontaneously can be due to pityriasis alba or vitiligo. If such white patches associated with white hair are also present on scalp, it is likely to be vitiligo.
I will advice you to visit your dermatologist in person so that proper examination can be done.
good luck
