Google for "white spot" + goldfish and see if it's the same thing.

Here's an example here:

You can get drops from the petshop to put in the tank if that's what it is.

As far as I know goldfish actually turn white with old age. The fish may be older than two years of age so this may be the cause. You can read up more on this and other queries on www.tropicalfishcentre.co.uk. I've found this site to be very helpful and it's free to join.
