White patches on face
My baby is 7 weeks old he is having all these white patches on face it is started last week only I am worried will it go?? Also dandruf has reduced but these marks are spreading on neck area too.please suggest what to do.Due to winter I can not do daily shampoo also to reduce the dandruf.
Difference in pigmentation is common in childhood, make sure the baby is fed adequately. This should mostly reduce by itself in a few weeks.
Next Steps
for daily shampoo rather than washing the whole head, use a cotton bud and wash specific areas.
Health Tips
evaluate the hypo pigmentation for any vitamin deficiencies after 2 to 3 weeks if you are worried.
keep the skin moisturized (try and avoid oil). you can use good baby moisturizers.
