Apart from that deliver there are several other causes of white patch been found. It can be because of a fungal infection like P.versicolor, or it can also be because of an inflammatory skin condition known as atopic dermatitis or P.alba . Without examination and assessment it is difficult to say with certainty what the problem is. You can get a private online consult with pictures for my opinion if you wish. Hope this is helpful.
