11yr boy/ discoloration skin spots on arm/ last 2 days or less maybe 1 or 2 times a month should i be concerned?

Hard to say: The description is a bit vague and could be many things. Most of the short lived skin issues are minor. If it worries you or there is a family history of troublesome issues showing up as skin changes, an exam might clear up the concern.This would be best done while they are there or collect a few photos and bring them to the visit.
