What happens if a child has vitiligo on his face?

Vitiligo is a skin disease that is very common around us. Although there is no scientific evidence to prove that vitiligo is contagious, its symptoms are indeed somewhat disgusting and the skin looks particularly disgusting. Vitiligo is a disease that affects not only adults but also children. So, what is the matter with vitiligo on the child's face? What are the causes of vitiligo?

1. It is related to the child’s daily diet. Sometimes children's picky eating habits will cause them to not absorb enough trace elements in their bodies, which will lead to the obstruction of melanin synthesis. If melanin cannot be synthesized for a long time, vitiligo will occur, causing white spots on the child's face.

2. It is related to the child’s living environment. Children's immunity is generally low during their growth and development stage, and they are easily infected by some pollutants, causing skin lesions and vitiligo, resulting in white spots on the children's faces.

3. It is related to the child’s family genes. The pathogenic gene of vitiligo is dominant, so it can be inherited from generation to generation. Even if the child's parents do not have vitiligo, if the grandparents or grandparents have vitiligo, the child will also be sick, resulting in white spots on the child's face.

4. It is related to diseases such as alopecia areata, thyroid, and pernicious anemia. People with these diseases sometimes also develop vitiligo, which causes white spots to appear on their faces.

5. It is related to the child’s own immunity. Children with low immunity sometimes have their melanin destroyed, causing white spots on their faces.

6. It may be related to the child’s external injury. If a child has an active personality, he or she will be easily injured. If the wound is not treated properly, vitiligo will appear at the wound site, and sometimes it will develop into severe childhood vitiligo.

Warm reminder: Children suffering from vitiligo should be taken to a regular professional hospital for treatment in time. Because children are young and various parts of their bodies are still developing, early treatment is more conducive to the child's recovery and the damage caused to them will be very small.
