I have white patches, too. I have one the size of a silver dollar on my chest and one on the back of my leg. I've had them since I was little so I can't say that any one thing contributed to them. I just thought they were patches where my skin lacked pigment - didn't even know there was a medical term for it. How long have your had them?

I too have hypothyroidism. I have had some rough white patches on my ankles and elbows.
