What Causes Pale Blotches On The Forehead In Biracial Baby?

Hi, My son is 8 months old and is biracial. I have noticed over the past couple of weeks he has a few minor pale blotches/spots on his forehead. Not very noticeable, but I notice it. Is this normal for biracial children, or african american children?

Hi
The reason can be pityriasis alba. This usually needs good hygiene, Sun protection and mild steroid use for 1-2 weeks.
