Accepted Answer

White spots on a baby's face, particularly near the nose and under the lips, can have several causes. Here are a few common ones:

1. **Milia**: Small white bumps that often appear on the face of newborns. They are caused by trapped skin flakes in small pockets near the surface of the skin. Milia are harmless and usually go away on their own within a few weeks or months.

2. **Neonatal Acne**: Also known as baby acne, these are small red or white bumps that can appear on a baby's face. It typically resolves without treatment.

3. **Eczema**: This can cause patches of dry, flaky, and sometimes lighter-colored skin. Eczema can occur in infants and may require moisturizing and sometimes medication.

4. **Pityriasis Alba**: A common skin condition that causes round or oval, slightly scaly, hypopigmented patches on the face. It’s generally harmless and often resolves on its own.

5. **Vitiligo**: A condition where the skin loses pigment in certain areas, leading to white patches. It’s less common but can occur in infants.

6. **Yeast Infections**: Sometimes yeast can cause white patches on the skin, though this is more common in diaper areas.

It's best to have a pediatrician evaluate these spots to determine the exact cause and whether any treatment is necessary.
