Good question! Many Haworthia have raised white spots or lines called "tubercles". They're normal and healthy.
If however, you mean white spots on Haworthia that don't naturally have white spots, you might be looking at mealybugs. They can form white, cottony infestations on succulents. To treat, thouroughly spray your plant with 70% isopropyl alcohol, gettinginto all the crevices. Continue to treat daily until you see no more mealybugs.
If you feel like neither of these are correct, feel free to email a photo of your plant to info@mountaincrestgardens.com and we can try to diagnose it. I'll also attach a link below to our FAQ page on pests and diseases if you're looking for more info.
