    We come from Indian Backround. My daughter who has got white spots on her back is one of the twin girls. They were born premature at 35 weeks. She also has Eczema but very much in control. I have been using cortisonsteriod based ointment prescribed by dermatologist . I have also been to Hoemeopath. And given her medicine given by him as well.
