Answer
Many different things can cause white spots on the skin and it is really difficult to differentiate them unless you are seen. Some will fade on their own, some you will grow out of, and some need to be treated or else they don't go away. It probably does not have anything to do with your sunscreen use as a child. If you can, set up and appointment with a dermatologist so that these can be properly diagnosed.
