Hi..
welcome to healthcaremagic.com and myself Dr. Atishay Bukharia would be answering your questions..
Light patch over the face indicates SEBORRHEIC DERMATITIS or PITYRIASIS ALBA, in some cases previtiligo can also manifest as light patch.
Most common cause is Seborrheic dermatitis, please consult good Dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis or send us the photographs for proper evaluation.
hope it helps
if you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us
