White spots on arm

2026-03-30 18:15:21
Hello, there are small white marks on my child's arm. Noticed them recently since he has started wearing short sleeves now. Update : we were in goa for 1 month and spent all day on beach and were tanned three shades. These images are post that but tan everywhere else is gone so why specific marks? Thank you .
