A. you will have to apply moisturizing lotion or cream more frequently and you can go for any good brand available in the market. you can apply the lotion afdter the child has been given a bath. avoid sunlight without using a sunscreen. see that the child is well hydrated. if it is still not improving after applying moisturizing baby lotion after 3 to 4 dxays please visit your doctor. any good brand like atogla, venussia, oliatum, sebamed , citaphil etc

A. Noticing white patches on your baby's neck can be concerning, but there are several potential causes for such skin changes in infants. Here are a few possibilities: 1. **Pityriasis Alba:** This is a common, benign skin condition that causes pale patches, usually on the face, neck, and arms. It is more noticeable after sun exposure. 2. **Eczema:** Eczema can sometimes cause lighter patches of skin, especially if the affected areas are healing. 3. **Vitiligo:** This is a condition where the skin loses pigment and can cause white patches. However, it is less common in infants. 4. **Fungal Infections:** Certain fungal infections like tinea versicolor can cause white or lighter patches on the skin. 5. **Nutritional Deficiencies:** Although less common, certain nutritional deficiencies can sometimes present as skin changes. 6. **Other Causes:** There are various other skin conditions that can cause changes in pigmentation. It's important to have a healthcare professional examine your baby to determine the cause of the white patches and provide appropriate treatment or reassurance. You should schedule an appointment with your pediatrician or a dermatologist who specializes in infant skin conditions.
