Hi!shabnam,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
You haven't mentioned the color of the spot,kindly do so.If its a white colored spot it can either be a VITILIGO or a XANTHELASMA .Vitiligo is a depigmented patch,with no symptoms and it can involve other parts of the body aswell.While a xanthelasma is cholesterol deposition in skin and some have high serum cholesterol levels too.Both can be treated so plz dont get worried.Just Consult a good dermatologist.
Take care,
Dr.Chawda
