White spots on the skin can be caused by various conditions such as vitiligo or fungal infections. Treatment options may include topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream to help reduce inflammation and repigment the skin. Another option is phototherapy using UV light to stimulate melanin production. It is important to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and management.
