Hello,
Regarding the question "How to treat tinea versicolor on the face of a 10-month-old child?", I answer as follows:
As you described, the child has tinea versicolor on his face, with the appearance of white patches on the skin, which can be seen in many diseases such as tinea versicolor, pityriasis alba, vitiligo... You should take your child to a dermatologist for examination, the doctor will perform a direct microscopic examination for fungal diagnosis.
If you still have questions about treating tinea versicolor on the face of a 10-month-old child, you can visit a medical facility of the Vinmec International Healthcare System for examination and early treatment. Thank you for your trust and for sending your question to Vinmec. Wishing you good health.
Sincerely!
