What is the reason for the white spots on my daughter's face?

Many parents find white spots on their daughters' faces and think they have vitiligo.

Vitiligo: The symptoms of white spots on my daughter's face are milky white spots on the local skin, which can occur on any part of the skin.

Anemic nevus: If there is no darkening of pigmentation at the borders of the white spots on your daughter's face, what is going on with the white spots on her face? Pat and rub the local skin, and the light spots themselves will not turn red, but the surrounding skin will turn red. This may be anemic nevus. Anemic nevus usually occurs at an early age and is prone to occur on the face and neck.
