Dermatologist Dr. R.G. Joshi's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for writing here.

White spots on forehead are because of eczema.

It can be due to dry skin.

Dandruff in hair also can cause such type of patches.

Do not apply harsh soap over affected area.

You can just apply a combination of moisturizer over the patches for few days.

Applying a mild steroid like hydrocortisone will also help.

Hope this will help you.Take care.
