“White spots on the bottom of my feet?”
Right around the outermost edge and towards the bottom of both of my big toes have pretty big snow-white spots. I noticed them after taking my socks off after work. My job involves my feet and shoes getting wet often, and combined with me sweating often, they were wet for a while. I have feeling everywhere else except for these white blotches. (They are like a big circle) Is this an issue? Will the pigmentation come back in the morning? Will the feeling come back? Is it dead skin? Every result I've searched for just tells me Vitiligo but that's obviously not it.

Needs to be seen by your dermatologist.

Difficult to say what the cause is, but conceivably some areas of whiteness may be due pressure, especially if they are noted after work. Yeast (candida) can appear as white patches. This condition may be caused/worsened by exposure to dampness. Vitilgo usually doesn't come and go; the white patches may stick around forever.
