White spots on baby's face

Compared with adult skin, baby's skin is more tender and smoother and contains more water. Baby's skin immunity is much worse than that of adults. Therefore, when new white spots appear on the baby's face, it should be discovered in time and sent to the hospital for diagnosis of the cause. There are many reasons for white spots, the most common one is vitiligo skin disease.

1. White spots on a child’s face are not necessarily vitiligo. White spots and pityriasis alba are common on children's faces because parasites easily grow in their intestines. If it is pityriasis alba, the child will feel itchy. In addition to the white spots on the face, white spots may also appear on the neck, shoulders and upper limbs. The number of white spots is variable and they are generally round or oval.

2. The characteristic that distinguishes vitiligo from other white spot diseases is that the standard version of vitiligo will feel a burning sensation after being exposed to sunlight, while patients with vitiligo will not feel any pain or itching in the white spots during the entire process of vitiligo. Even if some patients do feel any pain, it is very mild. Therefore, when patients with vitiligo suffer from vitiligo, they must pay attention to the characteristics of the white spots.

3. When patients with vitiligo suffer from vitiligo, in the early stage, the color of the white spots is very not obvious. They are usually light white and cannot be seen unless the patient looks carefully. As time goes by, the color of the white spots of patients with vitiligo will become lighter, slowly turning into milky white, cloud white, until finally turning into porcelain white.

Advertisement 4. In the early stage of vitiligo, the shape of the white spots is round or oval, but with the passage of time, the vitiligo spreads, and the shape of the white spots begins to change, from the previous round oval to irregular shapes, and some shapes become shapes, or triangles with sharp angles, etc. The spread of vitiligo in the implementation period is the fastest.

5. If the white spots on the child's face are mostly the size of fingernails or coins, nearly round or oval, and then expand or merge into irregular flaky white spots, with unclear boundaries, occasional local itching or visible edges, and island-like pigment spots in the center of the white spot area, then it may be vitiligo. It is recommended to see a professional and formal doctor for diagnosis as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease.
