Recently I saw that my daughter has somehow got a white spot on her right cheek. Within a couple of weeks I have observed that the spot is spreading. What could be the cause for this. Should I take her to a dermatologist?
Please suggest.

Have you been giving medicine for worms regularly. that could be one of the reasons. you may want to get stool test done and visit a local doctor if this has to do with worms. i know worms does cause white mark.

Many a times this is an indication of lack of calcium. Get it tested consulting a doctor.
Hope things get fine soon.

Recently a neighbor's child had similar problem and the doctor told that it was a fungal infection. He gave some ointment to be applied. I think you will not be able to know the reason without tests better to goto a doctor and get it cured.

It could be Fungal infection and in that case Homeopathy is the best remedy.
