What Causes Small Lumps Leaving White Patches?
About a year a ago i developed some small lumps, somewhat like the ones I ve seen on people with shingles. After they have gone scabs were left behind as a result which either though me picking or being rubbed when sleeping have caused white patches over the area, they don t hurt but they are a little raised

Hi,
It may be post inflammatory hypomelanosis.. The patch occurred after healing of the lesion. As the condition is harmless,there is no need to worry. It may be kept untreated.
Hope this helps.
