I've had eczema since i was an infant. my skin started to develop white marks at around the age of thirteen. I have very tanned skin so that the marks are very noticable.

My son also has some "white skin patch issues" having suffered with eczema from a young age. If you are tanning - you need to consider the risks you are exposing yourself to (skin cancer risk) AND if you used steroid creams to treat these areas over the years - then the skin has thinned out a bit in those treated spots ,and may allow faster UV damage (and heightened cancer risk) - so reconsider the tanning.
You can also talk to a dermatologist about some trestment options to reduce the obvious "lightened discolorations."
