While skin spots: Hello, more information would help (any similar spots elsewhere? Family history of such? Completely white, or just less color than normal skin?), but I suggest you have these evaluated. Most likely causes would be a post-inflammatory process (trauma?), but vitiligo should be ruled out.

I wrote I hurt thumb with nail and had little spot of blood covered with transparent skin. Well, I removed that spot with fingers and there was just a normal cut. I put ethanol on it. Do I still need to check? As Ive OCD family wont take it serious?
