Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Multiple causes: White patches may indicate a number of possible conditions. If the area has ill defined edges with a loss of pigment- more often found among allergic children. Well defined and raised borders of the rash may indicate a type of fungal rash. Other conditions associated with diabetes or autoimmune disease can be an underlying but more rare cause. I hope that this helps, dermatology suggested.
