May be pityriasis alba which will fade with time. Don’t use harsh soaps. Consult with a paediatrician/dermatologist

A 2 month old baby having light discoloured patches under lips and face is a common issue seen. This can be due to calcium insufficiency or due to pacifier usage.
Next Steps
May need mild steroid in some cases which to be used under paediatric monitoring.

Don’t change soaps repeatedly.
