What are white spots?
White spots can appear due to a harmless fungus, which lives on the skin's surface (mainly the scalp) called Tinea Vesicular. It flakes off of the scalp onto the upper body and absorbs UV light, which will normally penetrate the skin. This fungus did not appear as a result of tanning; it merely becomes noticeable once tanning begins. Home remedies for the spots include shampoos like Selsun Blue or Head and Shoulders.
