This would be a condition either known as 'Vitiligo' or 'Leukoderma' (literally: leuko - white, derma - skin) It is quite unclear as to what causes these white patches. Some say it is due to an Auto-immune effect. However the original cause is quite unknown.
I am glad you visited a dermatologist to have it checked.

In English it is called vitiligo
Edited
Impetigo is an infection not a skin disorder.
