Vitiglio. I think there are some medications available by prescription.

It is vitiligo and will continue to develop. What is essentially happening is that she is losing pigmentation in patches of her skin, resulting in the albino spots. She should stay out of the sun, since the albino skin burns easily AND the brown skin will tan, making the white spots stand out more.
The condition is hereditary. There are no viable creams or treatments to "cure" this disorder but there are some which negate its effect (like makeup). She will want to visit a dermatologist at some point for consultation. If it is really bad, there are some surgical avenues.

If she hasn't been to the doctor already have her go, there is a cream that they put on people that can stop that I can remember exactly what it was called but it was kind of like a rash that needs a steriod cream but it helped my friend. It also had something to do with the sun. Sorry I couldn't help more.
