4. When White Spots Aren’t From Nutrient Deficiencies
Not all white patches come from what you’re eating — or not eating. Some may stem from skin conditions that require professional treatment.
Tinea Versicolor (Fungal Infection)
A common fungal overgrowth that causes flaky, light-colored patches, usually in warm, humid climates.
Vitiligo (Autoimmune Condition)
Occurs when the immune system attacks pigment-producing cells. It causes sharply defined white areas that may expand over time.
Sun Damage
Chronic sun exposure can weaken pigment cells and trigger small white spots, especially on sensitive or overexposed skin.
If the patches spread, come and go, or change rapidly, seeing a dermatologist is the safest next step.
