Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

What do white spots mean? Is there normal skin at this junction? Has it started on the lips and buttocks? Usually pityriasis alba is a self resolving condition. There is no need to worry.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prasanna Lakshmi, Pediatrician
