This is Pityriasis alba. Usually goes away on its own. Just apply regular moisturiser. If persisting or increasing in size, then other topical treatment needs to be given

You should consult the doctor online or you can visit the clinic to get it checked. A thorough examination of the condition is necessary before any treatment.
