hello
welcome to healthcare magic forum
white spot may be due to many reason like fungal infection ,trauma,vitiligo ,drug induced etc
in your case it look like leucoderma over arm
it is very common condition and mostly occur after some injury over the area
you need to consult dermatologist as you required specific medicine
it will take time to heal the reason
wear full cloths to avoid any injury to body
i hope i answered your question
