What are the possible causes and recommended treatments for persistent, round white patches on a child's cheeks that have not resolved after administering albendazole (Zentel)?

Asked by Female, 2 · 6 days ago

Since the albendazole (Zentel) did not help, it is highly likely these patches are not related to worms. A very common and harmless cause in young children is pityriasis alba, a mild form of dry skin or eczema that causes pale patches, often becoming more noticeable after sun exposure. To help them fade, keep her cheeks well-moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free cream and protect her skin from the sun. I highly recommend having a pediatrician examine her to confirm this and ensure she gets the best gentle care.
