They're localized to the green/sprouted spots. And to a lesser extent the skin.

I'm not sure how the skin changes in the process, but I do know that the white flesh has minimal changes.

According to German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), they provide a more in depth look at it [1]. Fresher potato's are okay with skin on. Damaged, or overly sprouted potato's are not.
