There are several causes for patches of skin to lose or gain extra pigment. Some of the simplest causes have to do with an inbalance of melatonin. However, it is also possible that you may have a mild case of vitiligo. Only a doctor could diagnose you for sure. Either way, I'm afraid that under the law you are required to carry a bell and ring it while yelling "unclean, unclean" while shuffling from darkened doorway to doorway in a full-body cloak. Sux for you.

Te-he. *ducks!*
