Hi lybrate-user. White patches on cheeks in children are usually seen in pityriasis alba. Other causes can be fungal infection pityriasis versicolor, sun allergy PLE, vitiligo etc. It is not due to worms. The child needs to be examined by a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and treated accordingly.
