Are Brown Freckles On Face Due To Corn Allergy?
My 2 year old son ate corn for the first time and quickly started getting brown freckle like spots on his face and neck. He doesn't seem affected by it, but I am wondering if he has a corn allergy and when the spots will go away...
Thank you in advance!

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM
The condition you have described is called pityriasis versicolor, a superficial skin infection caused by a fungus.It not at all related to consumption of corn.
I would recommend you short course of oral fluconazole .
Apply ketoconazole cream twice a day.
Use shampoo containing ketoconazole and selenium sulfite for rinsing daily.
Maintain hygiene.
Hope you will get fine soon
Thank you
Dr Hardik Pitroda
