White spots on my arms

2017-06-16 05:26:54
Hello Dr. I have got few white small spots on my left arm for quite a time and because of my busy schedule, I wasn't able to pay much of attention to it and now I see some spots on my right arm as well. In my family, no body has had an issue of white spots before. Please help me with it.
