Mixed daughter has lighter skin patches?

Hello Mommies

My daughter who will be 18 months old next week is white and hispanic. She isn't dark, she's a light carmel color.

The other day I started noticing patches of very fair skin all over her face, neck and stomach. To me it looks like she may be lightening up after summer but I am curious what it is.

Any mommies out there with toddlers who's skin has done this?

Thanks =]

I think you may want to take her to a dermatologist. It could be nothing, but it could be an issue with her skin pigmentation.

A friend of mine who is white and african american has some lighter patches on her skin. But they are very few. As far as I know, she doesn't have any skin issues, but I still say to get this checked.

That does happen to certain kids, i have friend who was like that couple of years back, but after some sports, and being fit, she had a fair single tone and n o patch. For some kids it disappears after an age, for others they need sunlight. And sometimes it's permanent, it's not odd, but it happens rarely.

My daughter used to have a patch on her leg that was always lighter then the surrounding skin. She's Native American/white mix. I haven't noticed it the last few years though and she's 7 now.
