Question:
Good morning Michele, I have a beautiful question: When a child with white skin tone gets sunburned, tans and doesn’t return to their true skin tone and has white spots on their face, what frequency can I use? Thank you very much, Michele
Answer:
RE: Pityriasis Alba, Pityriasis Versicolor
Pityriasis Versicolor is a common skin condition characterized by dry, light-colored patches, often appearing on the face. These areas become more noticeable after sun exposure or tanning, as the affected skin does not darken like the surrounding areas. While it may also resemble Pityriasis Alba, Pityriasis Versicolor is caused by an overgrowth of a harmless yeast on the skin. It is not contagious and typically responds well to the use of moisturizers and sunscreen.
For either of these similar conditions: Pityriasis Alba, Pityriasis Versicolor
Use Frequency Group:
Pityriasis Versicolor: 0.07, 0.52, 0.75, 3.97, 8.5, 13.61, 22.5, 265.83, 425.34, 879.5
Consider applying an antifungal cream to the affected areas and monitor over several days to a week to see if the spots begin to fade, if the spots do not fade then the condition is more likely to be Pityriasis Alba
For Pityriasis Alba, try gentle Over The Counter creams like Colloidal oatmeal moisturizer or shea butter-based Cetaphil Baby Cream. Coconut oil and aloe vera gel can also hydrate and soothe patches. Use zinc oxide sunscreen to prevent tanning contrast. These natural options are child-safe. Pityriasis Alba often resolves on its own with time.
