exposed areas.Treatment is by topical antifungals. Pityriasis alba is a
common
Common cold
hypopigmented dermatitis.This is a self-limited
disorder
Adjustment disorder
Anorexia nervosa

that usually resolves by adulthood.Severe cases may benefit by Psoralen plus ultraviolet light A photochemotherapy (PUVA).
Apply selsun shampoo or Lamisil on the white spot and if the symptoms persist then pls get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
Hope it helps. Take care and pls do keep me posted on how your son is doing or if you have any additional queries.Kind regards.
