Since a week a button size light color spot appeared on my wife' left cheek. Is it serious? She had allergic reaction to food last month and had mosquito bite sized bumps on her body and was gone after some time. What is it and what can we do?

Possibly it may be an allergic reaction called Pityriasis alba. Without photo it won't be possible to diagnose.
