What medicine should be used for children's white pityriasis

Some people may be more familiar with pityriasis alba in children and know that it is not a particularly serious problem and there are no particularly uncomfortable symptoms in general. Even so, children with pityriasis alba still need to be careful not to use medications indiscriminately to avoid causing other adverse reactions. So what medicine is safe for children's pityriasis alba? In response to the above problems, I would like to introduce some topical medications for children's pityriasis alba.

1. If there are parasites, use anti-worm medicine to kill the parasites.

For children with pityriasis alba, especially simple pityriasis without obvious discomfort, the first thing to pay attention to is the presence of intestinal parasites. After stool microscopy, if intestinal parasites are confirmed, anthelmintic treatment should be given, and vitamin B2, vitamin B complex, vitamin A, vitamin D, etc. can be taken orally. Do not use anti-tinea drugs indiscriminately for simple pityriasis. Vitamin B2, vitamin B complex, vitamin A, vitamin D, etc. can also be taken orally. Do not use anti-tinea drugs indiscriminately for simple pityriasis.

2. External application of medicine for white pityriasis in children

After washing the face of children with pityriasis alba, you can apply 2% salicylic acid ointment, 5% urea ointment, or some ointment containing silicone oil cream or 5% sulfur cream on the white scaly spots. If the child feels the affected area is a little itchy, you can also apply Compound Conal Cream. In some children, pityriasis alba on their faces may sometimes improve naturally, but the color of the local skin will still be slightly lighter than the surrounding skin.

3 Traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for children with pityriasis alba

Take 10 grams each of angelica, raw rehmannia, siler, cicada shell, anemarrhena, sophora flavescens, sesame, schizonepeta, atractylodes, schizonepeta, gypsum, and 5 grams each of akebia and licorice. Take as a decoction, 1 dose per day. Children should take half the dose.

4 Folk remedies: Apply garlic juice to the ringworm

Cut a clove of garlic into slices and apply the garlic juice to the ringworm area. One clove of garlic can be used multiple times, and generally 3-4 times is enough to cure the disease.

5. Pay attention to frequent cleaning of children with pityriasis alba

Children with pityriasis alba should pay attention to regular cleaning and apply non-irritating moisturizer after washing their face. Avoid excessive cleaning of the affected area with alkaline soapy water, as this will damage the baby's thin and delicate skin.
