What are white spots on your arms and legs that appear?

My spots magically appeared when I woke up one morning. I called ask a nurse they could not help. they do not itch but do come and go tend to be almost gone and then appear only had them for a few days. I thought it might be allergies but ihave never had a problem before and introduced nothing new. they do seem to be concentrates on the back (pinky side) of my arm but do spread to the front and up my arms my legs are not quite as bad with just a few.

thats called keratosis polaris (spelling might be wrong) basically its when dead skin doesn’t flake off normally and sticks around and can clog pores. its not a big deal. it gets worse when your skin is dry. so make sure that you moisturize a lot, and exfoliation helps a lot too. I’ve had it forever, I use apricot scrub in the shower and hardly ever get them any more.
