What does it mean to have light blotches on face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pityriasis Alba: Pityriasis alba is characterized by patches of lighter skin mainly on the face, although the neck, upper chest, and arms are sometimes involved. The borders of the rash are not clearly visible. The light colored patch seems to blend gradually into normal appearing skin. Sometimes the rash is covered by very fine skin flakes resembling a light dust.
