What Causes White Patches On The Cheek?
Question: We are seeing a small white patch on cheek of our daughter who is 22months old. Attaching picture for reference. Could you tell us what it is and anything needs to be done?
Brief Answer:
Pityriasis XXXXXXX topical steroid & moisturising cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph.
She seems to be having pityriasis XXXXXXX which is a type of eczema very common in children .
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply a mild steroid like clobetasone cream or hydrocortisone cream on the white spot twice daily along with application of a moisturising cream on the entire face twice daily for 2-3 weeks.
This should subside it.

Dr Asmeet
