Answers:
There is a medical condition called vertiligo which causes paler patches of skin to appear on black people's skin. Apparently Michael Jackson has it (which explains his change in skin colour over the years). There might be some kind of treatment, but I am not sure. You would have to show your doctor. It isn't contagious.

It could also be some sort of a fungal infection or something.

Go see a doctor. They will be able to give you much better advice.

It could be a skin reaction to something you ate or something new you have put on your skin. You also could have a reaction to make up or not drinking enough water. Finally, there are over the counter skin lightening creams. Go and aks your doctor who could take the necessary tests like seeing if your acidic levels are high ( this would be the lack of water thing mentioned earlier).

I hope this helped.Health Question & Answer

Have these blotches always been there.?
If so it can be a birth mark of sorts.?

Spend time in the sun without proper protection.?
If so it can be slight skin discoloration which can happen over time
but you sound pretty young. Plus african americans are incredibly blessed with a high content of natural UVA-SPF.

If it continues definitely check in with your doctor, wouldn't hurt :)Health Question & Answer

It could be vitiligo, a condition that causes pigment in your skin to be much lighter in patches.Health Question & Answer
