What Can Cause White Patch On Cheeks Of 19 Month Child ?
My sone 19 months old, he got some white patches 1 month ago on the cheeks(bothside) outside. He is never exposed to sun, we were using same milk powder from 6 month. But after this problem just 1 week before i changed this milk powder. After even visited doctor , who gave some skin cream, which we are using from 2 week but of no use. What might be the problem???

such patches do appear sometimes due to vitamin , calcium or iron deficiency. Allow him to enjoy the sun shine also for a few minutes. Proper rehydration and replacement of these vitamins will make him fit.
