Suggest Cream For Small, Round Spots On Face And Upper Arms Of A 2 Year Old
My 2 year 9 months old baby has got several small round white spots on his face ad upper arms. We were told that it is pityriasis alba by pedatrician. However it is increasing its presence on face now. Also there is mild eczema on rest of body.What are the creams/medicines to cure this?
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
Pityriasis alba is usually associated with worm infestation. Worm infestation could also cause eczema. Empirical treatment of Worm infestation helps in many cases. Try single dose of Albendazole. Consult your Pediatrician if symptoms persist.
Do get back to me for further queries
Take Care
