Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

It is looking like a café-au-lait spot which is a normal skin spot if it is present a single lesion.

Some time skin pigmentations and fungal infections also present like this.
Physical examination is needed to diagnose the condition.

Consult the dermatologist for examination and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
