White peak on the child's face

Vitiligo is a common skin disease among modern people, and people of all ages may be at high risk of this disease. This includes children. If children are infected with white peak, it will not only be very unsightly, but it will also easily affect their physical and mental development, and in severe cases it may even cause mental illness. So what are the causes of white peak? Why do growing children get infected with this disease?

1. The patient has a partial diet and malnutrition

Long-term malnutrition is the direct cause of vitiligo in children. Children nowadays tend to be partial and picky eaters. Sometimes parents spoil their children and don’t pay much attention to them, resulting in long-term unbalanced nutrition and serious lack of certain trace elements.

2. Genetic factors

According to investigations, vitiligo is hereditary. If a child suffers from vitiligo, his chromosomes will be abnormal. These abnormal chromosomes can be inherited directly to the next generation or to the next generation. However, the onset of hereditary vitiligo in children is often caused by stimulation from external factors. Hereditary childhood vitiligo has an obvious characteristic, that is, someone in the family has suffered from vitiligo. Maybe it’s the father, maybe it’s the grandfather, etc.

3. Environmental factors

Environmental factors are also the main factors that induce vitiligo, including industrial and agricultural pollution. Industrial and agricultural pollution is mainly chemical pollution and toxic metal substances. Excessive exposure of children to these substances will lead to endocrine disorders and immune imbalance, which will in turn cause vitiligo.

4. Children have low immunity

Low immunity in children is also a common factor leading to vitiligo. Some children are born with poor immunity due to some reasons, which results in the blockage of melanin synthesis in the body and causes vitiligo.

The above is the reason why children may suffer from vitiligo on their faces. After reading the above introduction, we understand that vitiligo is a hereditary disease. Of course, if a child has low immunity, he or she is very likely to suffer from vitiligo, so as a parent, you must pay close attention to your child's physical condition.
