White patches on healthy skin can be a sign of a condition called vitiligo, which occurs when the melanocytes (cells that produce pigment) in the skin are destroyed. These patches can start anywhere on the body, but commonly appear on areas exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, arms, and feet. Symptoms may include depigmented patches that gradually enlarge over time, with a clear border between the affected skin and normal skin.
