Does it get worse when you are in the sun? Could be a benign skin fungus (my kid gets them on his face in summer). Try selsun blue, rub it on, let it set a bit, wash it off. Repeat twice daily for a week or so.
Not got anything to do with the sun? Could be vitaligo. Its a disease where the melanin producing cells dont do their job and you end up with white spots. Alot of times it is on hands and feet. Look it up online. Check with your doc. There are also some vitamin and mineral deficiancies that can cause spotting. I dont know those right off the top of my head.

From what I know...it is usually caused by a noncontagious fungus. I don't think any of the over-the-counter anti-fungals will work...I've only known for it to be treated by a prescription. One type can be helped by exposure to sunlight, but if you are often outdoors, then it would be best to see a doctor.

Could be bruising or internal problems... you should ask the doctor.
