need some good pics to really tell. But little white dots does sound like mites. Do you see any little red specs on top of leaf or any webbing at all?

If you have a 30x or greater magnifier, you will see them. Hold a white sheet of paper under a branch and give a gentle shake. Mites will fall to the paper and you will see them moving.

if it rubbed off then it could be web from the mites that you're rubbing off. get a magnifying glass and use that to check for mites.

mites are red/black in colour, not white.

yes but from the naked eye some appear white. i dont have a microscope yet. i dont think it is mites i think there is just some little hairs on my leaf cause it still looking healthy and it hasnt spread.
