White spots on baby's skin

White spots on baby's skin

We all know that if there are large patches of white spots on the body, it is likely that you have vitiligo, but it cannot be ruled out that it is some rash. Therefore, don't be too anxious when your baby has these small white spots. First of all, parents should observe the time period when these white spots appear and whether they continue to grow. If the white spots do not continue to grow, the situation is relatively good.

Case 1:

The possibility of depigmentation is considered to be relatively high. Skin depigmentation is a primary symptom of vitiligo, which is caused by the dysfunction or loss of the tyrosinase system in the melanocytes of the skin and hair follicles. The cause of this disease is unclear, and it is generally believed to be related to self-destruction of melanocytes and autoimmunity. In addition, neurochemical factors, decreased serum copper ions and genetic factors are believed to be related to the onset of the disease. Please observe for further developments. If the condition persists, please seek medical attention and receive prompt treatment to avoid delays.

Case 2:

Diagnosed as eczema. Although the clinical symptoms are different, they are all eczema. Guidance: Keep the skin clean and dry. When bathing the baby, it is advisable to use warm water and non-alkaline bath products to clean the baby's body. For babies with intertrigo, special attention should be paid to cleaning the wrinkles between the skin. When bathing, the bath product must be rinsed off. After washing, wipe the moisture off the baby's body, and then apply non-oily moisturizer to avoid hindering the normal breathing of the skin. The baby's hair should also be washed every day. If you have seborrheic dermatitis, you can remove the scab by carefully washing the head. If the scab has hardened and stuck to the head, you can first apply olive oil to the affected area and then wash it after a while.

Causes:

Nine factors: genetic factors; psychoneurological factors; chemical factors; autoimmune factors; melanocyte self-destruction factors; endocrine factors; relative deficiency of tyrosine copper ions; infection factors; traumatic factors, etc. It can be seen that the causes of vitiligo are multifaceted, but in a considerable number of patients, no inducing factors can be found. Our research found that vitiligo patients, regardless of where the disease occurs, are all related to microcirculation disorders. Choose a large professional vitiligo hospital for treatment. Professional hospitals have more comprehensive technology and equipment and richer experience. Vitiligo is difficult to treat, but it can be cured. There are currently many methods to treat vitiligo, such as drug therapy, Chinese medicine fumigation and infiltration, phototherapy (ultraviolet light, 308 excimer laser, narrow-band ultraviolet light, etc.), skin transplantation technology, etc.
