I'm really concerned about my daughter's skin. She's getting these white spots on her face, and they seem to be getting bigger. We saw our pediatrician who thought it was a fungal infection and suggested an antifungal cream for 15 days. But after using it, there wasnt any improvement. So we went to a dermatologist, and he diagnosed it as pityriasis alba. He prescribed mixing Telenorm oil with coconut oil and applying it in the morning with a bit of sun exposure, plus using Flutivate E cream at night and a special shampoo, moisturizer, and soap. Im worried if this is the right treatment for pityriasis alba, or should I consider seeing another dermatologist for a second opinion?

That could be Fungal infection or Vitamin Deficiency, visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
