Hi doctor, for more than 2 month I have this white patches on my skin.. when I first noticed it has some dry white flakes and then I started using cetaphil moisturizer over that area and I don't have any white flakes thereafter.. but I noticed it kind of left white patches on my skin and sometimes it's itchy too and while touching feel like some small pimples on there.. I'm currently 14 weeks pregnant .. is this something to be worried of ???

Don't worry...you are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis causing this white patches.. Specific medicine available for good control... Treatment depends on the severity..Do direct online consultation for detailed prescription
It is likely Pityriasis Versicolor, a fungal infection
Won't affect the baby so don't worry
But do get it treated!
Highly consider visiting a dermatologist
