Hi there,
It can, yes. It can also be a whole lot of other conditions (eg. halo naevus).
The best course of action right now in my opinion would be to consult with a doctor, the sole healthcare professional to be able to diagnose such a condition. I suggest we don't apply anything on the skin to make sure it will be easy to diagnose should you consult over a video consultation (eg.: Dialogue, Maple or Bonjour Santé).
If the white circles appeared less than 7 days ago, I think you should consult in the next 2 days (faster if your child experience pain or fever). If those appeared prior of the last 7 days, I suggest you consult during the next 7 days.
Have a great afternoon,
Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
