Greetings
It is common for an insect bite to leave a temporary white patch, a condition known as post-inflammatory hypopigmentation, which usually fades as the skin heals. Since the patch is growing and your baby is only 4 months old, it is important to have a pediatrician or dermatologist examine it to rule out other causes like a fungal infection or localized eczema.
