a linear white patch from the angle of the mouth on the right side which brightens while she has an episode of sickness. Child is 5 yrs old has history of a murmur at birth. She has c/c asthma on Salbutamol inhaler and frequent episodes of respiratory infections almost once in two months relieved with antibiotic medications. What could be this patch on the face? What else can be done for the child?
Dear parent, This linear white patch can be due to vitamin deficiency, ptyriasia Alba, worm infestation etc. supplement the child with a good multivitamin for 2 months and apply moisturizing cream daily
