POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. Light patches on your 16-month-old baby's cheeks could be due to several reasons, including dry skin, nutritional deficiencies, eczema, fungal infections, or sun exposure.
Possible Causes & Remedies
1️⃣ Dry Skin – Apply a gentle moisturizer (coconut oil, baby lotion).
2️⃣ Vitamin Deficiency – Ensure a balanced diet with vitamin A, D, and E (milk, eggs, fruits, and veggies).
3️⃣ Pityriasis Alba (Mild Eczema) – Common in kids, fades with time; use gentle skincare and avoid harsh soaps.
4️⃣ Fungal Infection – If the patch spreads or is itchy, consult a doctor for antifungal treatment.
5️⃣ Sun Exposure – Use baby-friendly sunscreen before going out.
