There was no rash before this patch..as she is growing patch is also growing slightly... What is it and way to apply its whitish patch...
Brief Answer:
This is naevus depigmentosus
Detailed Answer:
It is naevus depigmentosus most likely.
It is an asymptomatic developmental congenital disease.
It is harmless depigmented macule.
It may appear to increase slightly as the size of your baby increases.
No treatment is required for it. It won't respond to oral and topical medicines.
You can later go for plastic surgery if required for cosmetic reasons.
