Test your tank water for the presence of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates which should be 0, 0, and less than 20 respectively. If it's a colour fade, lethargy, and loss of appetite, this could be a water quality issue.
Double check to make sure that it is not a shedding issue or protozoan infection where your axolotl will appear as though it has white patches all over. Placing it in a mixture of 1 teabag to 10 litres of water as a dip has helped with this problem for other owners.
