White spots on children

Parents all hope that their children will get sick less often and grow up healthily, but after all, children's physical resistance is relatively poor, so this wish is easily unfulfilled. The symptom of white spots on children's bodies is very consistent with the characteristics of vitiligo. Although it is not necessarily the case, similar symptoms must be taken seriously. We should try our best to understand the situation of vitiligo and conduct a comprehensive analysis based on the characteristics of the white spots on the child's body.

First of all, let me make it clear to all mothers that this is possible, but not inevitable. White spots on the baby's skin may also indicate childhood vitiligo. If this is the case, be sure to seek medical attention in a timely manner.

Vitiligo is a common and multiple pigmented skin disease characterized by local or generalized depigmentation and the formation of white spots. The reduction or even disappearance of the number of melanocytes in the skin leads to the occurrence of vitiligo, and the specific mechanism is not clear. The disease is characterized by local or generalized depigmentation forming white patches. It is an acquired, white patch of skin depigmentation and a common skin disease that affects beauty.

After children suffer from vitiligo, white spots will appear on their skin. The age of onset is affected by the conditions of the vitiligo. Symptoms and lesions of vitiligo in children account for 33% to 42% of the total number of children, with a dermatomal distribution of 17% to 9%. Vitiligo is also a gradually developing disease. The initial symptoms of vitiligo are distributed in the head and neck area, about 50%. The symptoms of early vitiligo in children are often found in the external genitalia, perianal area, etc. The treatment of vitiligo in children must be started before the disease worsens. Vitiligo in children of most age groups can be relatively stably controlled one year after the onset of the disease. The treatment of vitiligo in children requires active cooperation from patients and their families. At the same time, children with vitiligo must pay attention to taking relevant preventive measures in their daily lives.

As more and more children in my country suffer from vitiligo, preventing vitiligo in children has become a top priority. The main points for preventing vitiligo in children are as follows:

1. Balanced nutrition and improved immunity. Only by properly consuming various nutrients can we ensure the healthy development of children's body and mind. Parents should pay attention to correcting their children's picky eating habits and at the same time, not let their children eat too much sweets. Because eating too much sweets will reduce the body's immunity and easily cause a feeling of fullness, which will affect the patient's absorption of other nutrients. In addition, children should be given less snacks because snacks may contain various substances that are harmful to children's bodies. Children should also be encouraged to participate in more physical exercises to improve their immunity so that they can effectively resist the invasion of various diseases.

2. Avoid external injuries in daily life. When parents find that their children have external injuries, they should disinfect and clean them in time, and apply appropriate medicines to help the children recover sooner. You should also closely observe whether there is any loss of pigmentation around the injured area of ​​the child. If this occurs, you must go to the hospital to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying the condition.

3. Seek timely diagnosis and treatment to relieve stress. Once a child is diagnosed with childhood vitiligo, parents must take the child to a regular hospital for treatment. Do not listen to rumors and go to some small clinics or use some folk remedies for treatment. This may delay the disease and be detrimental to treatment. At the same time, during the treatment period, parents must provide psychological counseling to their children to keep them in a good state, which is more conducive to recovery.
