Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...my daughter is seven and ahalf yrs old.She has developed a small white patch on the cheeks.Can u tell us the cause and remedy for this?Does it have any correlation to worms in the stomach,as it is more than a year that i have dewormed her? Doctor: Hello,  Most commonly white patches on the face are due to a much earlier dryness or redness on the face, due to atopy or simply dry skin. It can be prevented by using moisturizing cream regularly. It's not due to worms.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
