Question
A child has a white patch of skin on their forehead, with the center being white and the surrounding area dry but not peeled off, resembling eczema. This condition has persisted for more than ten days and has not improved.
Answer
Based on the description, the white patch on the child’s forehead may be caused by seborrheic dermatitis. This could be due to a deficiency in trace elements or hygiene issues. It is recommended to apply fluocinolone acetonide ointment externally to the affected area, and to pay attention to a light diet, maintain personal hygiene, avoid contact with animal fur, reduce intake of spicy foods, and engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity.
