There is a white spot on the child's face in summer

Summer is the peak season for diseases, let alone children. Children's resistance will be weakened in summer and various diseases will occur. Some white spots on the skin are actually worthy of parents' attention. Once they become serious, they will cause a series of diseases. Not only will parents be troubled, but children will also be infected. Therefore, this is a phenomenon that must be paid attention to. If it is a common white rash, it can gradually get better by taking medicine and applying ointments, but if it is really serious, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Considered to be "pityriasis alba". It is the most common white spot disease on the skin in children, commonly known as worm spots. The cause is unknown and may be related to many factors such as nutritional deficiency, intestinal parasites, sun exposure, dry skin, etc.

Suggestions: Pityriasis alba mostly occurs on the face, and in some children it occurs on the neck, shoulders and upper limbs. The disease usually starts in spring, worsens in summer and subsides in autumn. The number of white spots varies, and most of them are round or oval in shape, grayish white in color, about 3 to 5 cm in diameter, with unclear boundaries with normal skin, and fine bran-like scaly desquamation on the surface. The children have no subjective symptoms or may have mild itching. If you are worried that your child has an unclean eating experience, or want to rule out intestinal parasite infection, you may wish to take your child to the hospital for a stool egg test to see if he or she needs to take anthelmintic medicine.

The general situation is related to specific constitution and dry skin. Guidance: It is recommended to use some moisturizing ointments and other symptomatic treatments, such as topical vitamin B6 cream, etc. At the same time, pay attention to moisturizing and nourishing the skin.

Clinically, it is necessary to test the baby's trace elements to see if there is a deficiency. If you are deficient in calcium or zinc, you can supplement it with tri-precipitate calcium gluconate and zinc gluconate in time. Take zinc gluconate in the morning. Take calcium gluconate in the afternoon or evening. Spacing out allows for full absorption and utilization.

The pale red spots gradually turn into pale white spots with a small amount of bran-like scales on the surface. The subjective symptoms are not obvious or there are no subjective symptoms. Recommendation: This disease is more common in summer and is self-healing. Generally, no special treatment is required. You can apply an ointment containing a small amount of glucocorticoids to the affected area.
