Hello,
Most commonly white patches on the face are due to a much earlier dryness or redness on the face, due to atopy or simply dry skin. It can be prevented by using moisturizing cream regularly. It's not due to worms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
