That all depends on the nature of the white spot. If it is a natural marking then ignore it. If it has just occured and is raised or like a lump it may be an absess. If on closer inspection you can see other white spots on the fish and/or its fins, then you probably have an outbreak of Whitespot or Ich. In the case of the former (an absess) you may need to improve your husbandry somewhat and start doing more water changes. If it is the latter,(white spot/Ich) a trip to the pet shop to purchase some Medication for Whitespot would be indicated.

Do Bettas get the ick?
All fish can catch the ich. The Ich is probably the common fish disease, the ich refers to a ciliated protozoan of the genus Ichthyophthirius. Ich is present all the time in aquaria just waiting the "right" time to burst. The ich covers himself with tough outer shell, in this time he feeds on the fish body fluids.This stage known as theront is a visible stage and we can see it clearly on the fish body. Each theront appears as a very small white spot on the fish body, those white spots are what we called ich disease.

Betta fish 2 years old maybe overfed his stomach swelled and then a white spot appeared in his side he won't eat much and sinks to the bottom a lot and is not making his bubbles what do I do?
I think your betta fish is a female. I'm assuming that it is pregnant because female betta fish have a white spot on their stomach if they're pregnant. If you have another male fish, [ but he has to be ready to mate. You can tell if he is ready if he is creating a bubble nest.] try putting them together. Before you do that, try looking for infos on them first [just in case]. I don't want things to go wrong because I might've told you the wrong things. I'm just a child that happens to take care of 2 betta fish and doesn't know about them much.. I'm not a professional of betta fish, but I found these information on the internet. I have two betta fish myself, and one lost its color.I wanted to look more info on betta fish, and learn how to take care of them better. Eventually, I learned many new things about them. Maybe you can learn more about betta fish since you are taking care of one. It's just a suggestion, but I tried looking them up on the comp and it helped me a lot. I just wanted to let you know what i have experienced. ^^ I can give you a site that tells you a lot of info about betta fish. I got most of my info about them in this site: http://www.bettatalk.com/basic_care.htm If you want to learn more about betta fish, then just go on google, and search about them. I hope this helped and hope that your betta fish is alright.^^~!
