Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have small white spots on hands . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like fungus infection like tinea versicolor or vitiligo . It seems to me that in your case the symptoms is probably due to vitiligo . Vitiligo is caused by a loss of pigment in the skin, due to destruction of pigment-forming cells known as melanocytes . I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may recommend re-pigmentation using UV light therapy, corticosteroid creams , depigmentation of unaffected skin areas, and skin grafting .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
