Daughter 10, light skin. summer time get white spots in the face. what would you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunscreen: The white areas on her face likely represeent pitiriasis alba, a benign skin condition that involves such areas that do not take up sunlight as well as the surrounding skin.The tanning produced by more summer sun will amplify the difference between the involved skin and the normal skin next to it.Liberal use of a good sunscreen will reduce the effect of the sun.
