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 weekss and is increasing in size and intensity then you have to meet the doctor for evaluation. some times it cand be due to nutritional deficiency, skin sensitivity, allergy, fungal infection (sometimes self limiting) also for which your doctor will prescribe specific cream.

A. These patches could be due to deficiency of calcium in certain cases and sometimes due to dryness so apply a good cream and see if it starts becoming better otherwise check with your paediatric please
