Brief Answer:
This is pityriasis XXXXXXX - will get better with mild steroid application
Detailed Answer:
Hi.... I have seen this image. What you have rounded off in the image is a white lesion with stands out on both the cheeks. This is a mild type of fungal infection of the skin called Pityriasis XXXXXXX This will get better with mild steroid application over the area. You can use hydrocortisone cream application over the area for a period of 2 weeks.
But this a prescription drug and you will require a doctor's prescription for this.
By the way this mild fungal infection can be recurrent, but it will get better and as the age progresses can get better and ultimately subside.
Hope this helps. If you have any further queries I will be glad to help.
I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link.
