Skin Problem?

Snowdrop, my blizzard girl, developed two spots on her skin. They don't come off when rubbed with a damp cotton swab, and seem to have gotten slightly larger. They've been there for several weeks. I thought they would go away on their own but that isn't happening. Any idea what this is? Wounds? Some sort of infection? I know they're not cricket bites because she isn't interested in crickets, so I don't give them to her. She is housed alone. Sorry for the lousy photography.
This one is on her side:

And this one is on her head:

I didn't know about paradox spots and didn't know that an adult gecko could develop spots. Hopefully that's all it is.

A blizzard with spots would probably be pretty uncommon.

Blizzard with 2 paradox spots. One on the top of his tail at the base and near his right nostril

I don't remember seeing a picture of a blizzard with spots before. I'm a crested gecko person with three leos, two of which were rescues, including her, so I'm not really up on the leo morphs and patterns.

You saved me a trip to the vet. Thanks! :)

No prob. This guy is 3 and the spots didnt show up until a little over 1 yr old. I have seen a few with heavy paradoxing
