A member asked:

I have these odd while spots that appear on the back of my legs and on my forearms if i sit for too long. what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depend on appearance: It may be that you are seeing the spots closer and are more aware of them. If they are flat white spots may be eczema, fungus (tinea versicolor) , vitiligo, scars that are more visible after exposure to sun.
