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

A. Hi mom white patches on the skin can be due to dryness or fungal infection. Apply coconut oil on the white patches. The anti fungal property of coconut oil will help to clear the skin and also give relief from dryness. u Can buy babyhug cold pressed coconut oil which is pure and additive free to apply
