My daughter has a small patch under her chin that is paler in the middle, is it a fungus?

Hello, This type of plaque can have several origins: It can be a dry skin patch with a lighter delineation in the center; A target-shaped plaque can be a sign of a tick bite; A plaque with a raised, crusty edge, clear in the center, can be the result of a fungal infection. Since it can be complex to advise dermatological issues of this type via teleconsultation, I strongly suggest you take a picture of it and go meet with your regular pharmacist.
