Hi....sometimes iron and selenium deficiency can cause this. But most of the times the kids grow out of it and the white coloration is temporary. But for whatever it is worth I suggest you consult a pediatric dermatologist.
Iron is a prescription drug and even fir iron supplements prescription you need to see the doctor.
