Could be allergy will fade away

Detailed Answer:
hi
Thanks for writing to us.
A small white line as you described is usually common in kids.
It is usually because of some allergy.
If not red or elevated , and if child doesn't have any other symptoms, no need to worry.
I do think no treatment is necessary apart from frequently washing the face with soap. Avoid powder or cosmetics of any kind.
Regards
Dr Arun
