Hi, welcome to HCM. Can understand your concerns.
- white patch over skin in a 4 months child can be most probably fungal infection like candida, or it could be a hypopigmented birth mark.
- candid b cream which your doctor prescribed is also antifungal cream.
- continue it for 5 days.
- if no improvement in 48 hours than get child examined by a doctor.
I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
