Question
I'm really concerned about my daughter's skin. She's getting these white spots on her face, and they seem to be getting bigger. We saw our pediatrician who thought it was a fungal infection and suggested an antifungal cream for 15 days. But after using it, there wasnt any improvement. So we went to a dermatologist, and he diagnosed it as pityriasis alba. He prescribed mixing Telenorm oil with coconut oil and applying it in the morning with a bit of sun exposure, plus using Flutivate E cream at night and a special shampoo, moisturizer, and soap. Im worried if this is the right treatment for pityriasis alba, or should I consider seeing another dermatologist for a second opinion?
