It's called vitiligo or leucoderma. It's an autoimmune disease where the body destroys the melanin-containing cells.

Vitiligo or leukoderma is a chronic skin disease that causes loss of pigment, resulting in irregular pale patches of skin.

Usually it is vitiligo but a fungal infection can cause patches of lost pigmentation too.
