Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
It is difficult to diagnose without seeing the baby.
The white spots may be due to vitamin B complex deficiency or it may be fungal infection.
Give multivitamin drops daily.
You may try local application of clotrimazole ointment for a few days
If no improvement you consult pediatrician or dermatologist .
Hope this reply is OK for you.
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
