What could the white circles on my sons legs be?

Mummas I need advice! I’ve been to the doctors and they are not helping! My son has white circles on his legs! I’m unsure what it is is I have rang 111 ( uk) awaiting a call back from them any other mummas had the same problem ? ( he’s mixed race) if that makes a difference

Without pictures it’s hard to say :woman_shrugging:

Why wouldn’t you add pictures for people to know what you’re talking about?

It could be vitiligo, I have it and it’s circles on the under side of my arms, one on my hand that’s almost a perfect circle and a few on my legs. It’s the loss of skin pigments caused my autoimmune disorder

I agree with out pictures its hard to help, my psoriasis starts as just white circles and some get patchy eventually and others just stay white circles.

Could it be Lyme disease? It shows up as circles sort of like bullseyes. Might be worth a test as it can be debilitating if left untreated.

Wash with SelsunBlue to see if it clears up. I had those they are like ringworm but not ringworm itself

Is it eczema? Are they dry patches?

If you haven’t had him tested for Lyme disease I would do that as that can show up in a white ring

Virtiligo or it could possibly be tinea versicolor which is a fungal infection

My son was allergic to milk when he was little and he got white spots on his face from it and it was any milk products

Has he possibly been leaning on a fence or under a crochet blanket? Those are the most common causes of white circles I’ve seen.
