A. Hi, Then don't worry. It is not vitiligo. Just apply coconut oil and aloe vera gel. It will go on own. Most new born babies issues like this go on own when baby is 1 year old around. Babies get their actual skin colour by 1 year time.

A. Hi, is this spreading? I don't think that it is vitiligo. Kindly apply coconut oil and aloe vera gel. Most babies common skin issues go on own by doing this . Also try Applying your breastmilk also. Start giving semi-solid and solid food to baby.
