Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It may be pityriasis alba. It is superficial eczema of unknown cause.. however, it may be precipitated by nutritional deficiency, internal hidden infection, sun rays,allergens..etc.. consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
