A. White patches on your baby’s face could be due to several reasons, and it's important to get a proper diagnosis from a pediatrician. Some possible causes for the white patches you are describing include: Pityriasis Alba: This is a common, non-contagious condition seen in children, characterized by light, scaly patches on the skin, especially on the face. It tends to improve over time. Vitiligo: This is a condition where the skin loses pigmentation, leading to white patches. However, it's less common in infants. Fungal Infection (Tinea): Fungal infections can cause white patches on the skin, often in moist areas like around the eyes or chin. Eczema: Eczema can sometimes lead to patches of lighter skin after an outbreak. Milia: These are small, white, pimple-like bumps, usually around the eyes or nose, that occur when dead skin cells become trapped. It’s best to consult a pediatric dermatologist or your child’s doctor to identify the cause and get an appropriate treatment plan. Avoid self-diagnosing, as skin conditions can vary widely in infants.
