White patches in a young child can be due to fungal infections, dry skin, or conditions such as vitiligo, so the exact cause requires proper evaluation. Keep her skin clean and well moisturised, and avoid harsh soaps or products that can irritate it. Do not apply any creams on your own, as the treatment depends on the cause. As the patches spread to the face, it is important to consult a doctor so that the appropriate treatment can be started early.
