a white spot is on right side of chest on my baby boy. He is 6 months old. Kindly suggest which medicine i will give.

A. A white spot on your 6-month-old baby’s chest could be due to several causes, such as a fungal infection (like tinea versicolor), a mild skin condition (like pityriasis alba), or even post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. Since babies have delicate skin, avoid using over-the-counter creams without a doctor's advice. It's best to: Keep the area clean and dry. Avoid using any adult antifungal or steroid creams. Monitor for changes like spreading, scaling, or itching. Please consult your pediatrician or a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and safe treatment based on the exact cause. Early medical advice ensures the right care without harming baby’s skin.
