POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. Got it — your daughter has a white mark on her skin after scratching a mosquito bite, and you want to know which cream you can safely apply to remove the white mark.
Here’s the situation:
When a child scratches a mosquito bite a lot, it can sometimes cause temporary skin damage or post-inflammatory hypopigmentation (light skin patch). This usually heals naturally over time (weeks to a few months), but you can speed up healing with the right care.
Safe creams you can apply:
Aloe Vera Gel (natural, soothing, and helps skin repair)
Brand options: Mamaearth Aloe Gel, Patanjali Aloe Gel
(Apply 2–3 times a day.)
Candid B Cream (if mild fungal infection is suspected — white patch after scratching)
But only after doctor advice if white patch is spreading.
Pigeon Baby Moisturizing Cream / Sebamed Baby Cream
Gentle, safe creams that help skin barrier recover.
Mederma Scar Gel for Kids (if mark is deep or not healing in 4–6 weeks)
Specifically made for healing scars and marks in children.
Important:
Do not use strong steroid creams without doctor's advice. Sunlight protection is important! Apply a mild baby sunscreen if she goes outdoors, because sunlight can make white patches more visible.
In short:
Start with Aloe vera gel + gentle moisturizing cream daily.
If no improvement after 4–6 weeks, or if white patch increases in size, see a dermatologist once.
Would you like me to also tell you a small home remedy using simple kitchen ingredients that help fade marks faster? (Only if you want!)
It’s very safe for kids.
