White spots on baby's body

Because newborn babies are delicate, special attention should be paid to all matters. However, mothers should not be overly nervous. If there are white spots on the baby's body, don't blindly worry about vitiligo. In fact, there are many types of skin diseases. Moreover, unless there is a genetic problem, newborns generally do not suffer from vitiligo. Therefore, it is necessary to consider other skin diseases, which may be fungal infections, etc. The details are as follows:

Possible causes

1. If you find white spots on your child's body, do not make a blind judgment or even buy medicine on your own. You should go to the hospital for treatment or consultation in time. Generally speaking, doctors can directly diagnose whether the patient has vitiligo based on the patient's clinical manifestations. Especially parents whose family members suffer from vitiligo, do not judge their children as having vitiligo and take medicine immediately when they find white spots on their children.

2. In fact, there are many types of skin diseases, and many of them are very common. The symptoms after onset are also very similar to vitiligo. For example, anemic nevus is a congenital localized vascular functional developmental defect that occurs at birth or in childhood. The white spots may be round, oval, or irregularly aggregated petal-like with clear boundaries. There is a relatively simple identification method, which is to rub or apply heat stimulation to the affected area. The skin lesions of anemic nevus will not turn red, while the surrounding normal skin will turn red. Parents must not be anxious. If they cannot make a judgment themselves, they should go to the hospital immediately.

3. The child has white spots on his body. There is also a skin disease that often occurs on the face called pityriasis alba, which can easily be mistaken by parents for vitiligo. The lesions of this skin disease appear as round, oval or irregular light white spots with a small amount of tiny white scales. The scales may disappear over time, but the white spots will persist. The onset of the disease may be related to intestinal parasites, abnormal nutritional metabolism, etc., and wind and sun exposure may have a stimulating effect. The method of judgment is to see whether there are white scales on the white spots. This kind of skin disease is easier to cure, but it is difficult to judge. Parents should also take their children to see a doctor in time.

4. Vitiligo in infants and young children currently develops very quickly, so parents should understand the symptoms in a timely manner so that the white spots on their children can be cured as soon as possible. And during the treatment, we must strengthen the physical and mental care of the child, take good care of the child, and guide the child's childish heart in a timely manner. In addition, pay attention to the reasonable combination of diet and strengthen nutrition.
