Have Lighter Patches On Face, Circular In Shape. Took Vitamin C. Is This Due To Vitamin Deficiency Or Too Much Of Vitamin?
My 6 year old son has lighter patches on on his face. They are slightly lighter than his normal skin color and are in a circular shape on his cheeks. They have appeared over the last couple months and don't seem to be getting any worse. The only thing different is that I've been giving him more vitamin C. Could they be due to too much C? Or is this a vitamin deficiency?

Hi,
From history it seems that this patches might be due to fungal infection a\or having Iron deficiency anemia.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Go for hemoglobin estimation for anemia.
Vitamin C does not cause this patch.
Give more green veggies, high nourishing food.
Ok and take care.
