A. many times white spots can occur in children but does not require any treatment except moisturizing lotion application or simple coconut oil application. they will persist for few weeks and then will go away if the problem continues beyond two weeks and is increasing in size and intensitsy then you have to meet the doctor for evaluation. some times it can be due to nutritional deficiency, skin sensitivsity, allergy, fungal infection (sometimes self limiting) also for which your doctor will prescribe specific cream.

A. Hello mom Some white patches are totally normal and it get cured by its own in next few days. So you should definitely not worry about it at all. You should just continue using babies regular baby products and there is no need to make any changes in it. You can continue using it.
