Brief Answer:
Pityriasis XXXXXXX
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
The child has developed pityriasis XXXXXXX infection.
It is a nild superficial fungal infection.
I treat such cases with a topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole to be applied twice daily for a month.
It is safe and effective and usually available over the counter.
There is nothing to worry.
It is a common condition and can be treated.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Send me another picture after a month.
Thank you.
