A. Slight white spots near your 1.5-year-old son's buttocks are generally not something to be overly concerned about, but they could indicate a few possibilities. One common cause is fungal infections such as diaper rashes or candidiasis, which can appear as white spots or patches in the diaper area. Another possibility could be eczema or dry skin, which sometimes causes light patches. Pityriasis alba, a harmless skin condition, can also cause pale spots and is common in children. However, if the white spots are accompanied by other symptoms like itching, redness, discomfort, or spreading, it would be wise to consult your pediatrician for a proper evaluation. They can help determine if it's a simple skin issue or something that requires treatment, such as an antifungal cream or other medications.
