A. hi your baby is 5 months old now white patches on face are commonly due to fungal infection and you need to apply antifungal ointment like tenovate M or fungotek ointment on affected area

A. these aren't since birth...it appeared as rashes and turned into white patches. Pediatrician has asked to simply keep the skin moisturised..i just want to be assured that it's not vitiligo
