Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
whitish,non scaly rash over the tummy may be a fungal infection or rarely b complex deficiency.
Give multivitamin drops daily for 1-2 months.
Skin diseases are difficult to diagnose without seeing them.
If no relief better consult dermotologist.
You may try local application of clotrimazole skin ointment.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
