What Causes White Patches On Face Of A Child?
Hi Dr! My son is 7 months old. Lately I have observed sudden white patches around his face , mostly on his cheeks . Earlier I was applying Sebamed cream on his face as his skin is quite dry. Then i changed to Eucerin skin calming cream as I thought this might help him, but I am not seeing much of difference. Is this because of dryness of the skin or is it something else. Pls suggest.
