Doctor's answer:

Consider it to be pityriasis alba. This is because the child's sebaceous glands have not yet fully developed, and the epidermis lacks the protection of sebum. If over-washing occurs, especially after cleaning with alkaline soap, it is very easy to develop pityriasis alba. Additionally, sun exposure and dry skin can further exacerbate the occurrence of pityriasis alba.
