Baby skin port wine stain

Many children are born with some red spots on their faces or necks. Parents think that this is a birthmark and do not pay too much attention to it. In fact, this practice is wrong. Red spots on children's faces or necks may also be hemangiomas. If it is a hemangioma, it must be treated in time. It may also be a port-wine stain. If it is a port-wine stain, you also need to go to the hospital for treatment in time. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to red spots on children’s faces.

Port-wine stain is a skin disease that occurs in newborns. However, newborns are too young to be treated for port-wine stain. Therefore, if you suffer from port-wine stain, you must pay attention to the best time for treatment.

Port-wine stain is a birthmark that will never fade and will get worse with age. The longer you delay treatment, the more difficult it will be to treat, and the cost and time span of treatment will also increase accordingly. Experts say, "It is very important to choose the early stage of treatment for port-wine stains!" Port-wine stains usually appear light red or pink in infants and young children. As time goes by, the lesions will penetrate into the deep subcutaneous tissue, causing thickening and bulging of the skin. Therefore, the earlier a baby's port-wine stain is treated, the better. Treatment can be started three months after birth. Clinical results have also confirmed that the treatment effect is best during this period for infants and young children.

The treatment of port-wine stains has existed since ancient times, and there are many methods, such as skin transplantation, carbon dioxide cryotherapy, laser therapy, high-frequency electrotherapy, etc. Although these therapies can achieve certain results, they cannot clear the melanin deep in the patient's dermis, so recurrence is inevitable after treatment. What's more serious is that these therapies are likely to cause serious complications such as scar formation, pigmentation or depigmentation.

Finding a safe and effective treatment method is the most important thing for patients with port-wine stains. Currently, the most common treatment method for port-wine stains is laser treatment. It is best for patients to choose professional treatment and regular hospitals.

Care methods for port wine stains in special areas. If the port-wine stain is growing on the baby's perineum or diaper area, it is recommended not to use diapers. Diapers are made of chemical fiber materials and repeated stimulation will cause the lesions to rupture and bleed. You can use cotton diapers to avoid the stimulation of urine. At the same time, friction on the child should be reduced, and the child's clothes should be made of soft cotton as much as possible to reduce stimulation from hard objects.

How to care for ruptured port-wine stains. If the baby's port-wine stain has ulcerated, the affected area should be protected from water irritation as much as possible, the patient's local skin should be kept dry, and the wound should be cleaned. There is a high possibility of ulceration and bleeding. Once ulceration and bleeding cannot be treated, the wound will not heal for a long time and scars will be left after healing!

Therefore, parents are advised to treat their children as early as possible. In addition, children with unbroken port-wine stains can take a normal bath, but they can reduce the amount of wiping with a towel after washing and can just use a dry towel to dry up the water droplets.
