Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

A light white spot on skin is most likely to be post inflammatory hypopigmentation. On elbow it is could be simply due to extreme dryness of the skin in that region. I suggest you to use a moisturizer regularly to keep the skin hydrated. In addition I suggest you to use tacrolimus ointment, twice daily over the light spot for a few weeks. Continue with the moisturizer even after the spot resolves.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
