Child Has White Spots And Big Red Patches Around Them. What Is This?
Question: My daughter has come out with white spots and big red patches round them what is this?
Hello and thank you for sending your question.
Your question is a good one and I will work on providing you with some information and recommendations.
I have reviewed the photo which you submitted. this has the appearance of what we call tinea versicolor. This is a specific type of inflammation of the skin which is caused by a fungus.
There are several different topical remedies for this. I have attached a link to a website which also gives additional information.

Depending on the availability of over-the-counter medications you might need to see a physician to obtain a prescription for a good topical antifungal treatment.
Thanks again for submitting the question. If I can be of any additional assistance
Please let me know.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robert
