Hi Doctor,My 6yrs kid is having white patches on cheeks, I consult few skin specialist and they said it is due to cold and dry weather.How we can take care of it?I am from India, Bangalore, where weather condition is cold and dry.Do I need to do some Allergyc test?
Hi...you do not need an allergy test. By what you quote I feel that he is having Satyriasis Alba and mild variety of fungal infection of the skin. But, skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
