What to do if your child has white spots on his arms

The white spots on children's arms may be vitiligo, but they may also be caused by anemic nevus or apigmented nevus. Therefore, if you want to determine which disease caused it, you must check it as soon as possible. If the white spots on the arms are not treated as soon as possible, the white spots will spread and the area of ​​the white spots will increase. When treating white spots on children's arms, parents must pay attention to some related things. Let's learn about it together.

Things to note when treating white spots on the arms :

1. Accurately diagnose leukoplakia

Unclear diagnosis will lead to ineffective treatment, so an accurate diagnosis should be made before treating white spots on your child’s skin. Only after the disease is diagnosed can the appropriate treatment be given. Currently, many hospitals use a single specialist to diagnose patients, which often leads to missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses. Changsha Zhongke Vitiligo Hospital is equipped with advanced equipment such as the American three-dimensional skin CT detection system. It is staffed by authoritative experts with rich testing experience. They use advanced equipment and scientific evidence to conduct tests on children's delicate skin, without pain or harm, and provide accurate diagnosis. Skin CT can directly visualize the basal melanin and accurately diagnose vitiligo in children, providing a reliable basis for treatment.

2. Children should be treated with caution when removing white spots

Children are in the developmental stage and their body functions are not yet perfect, so their treatment must be differentiated from that of adults to avoid irreversible consequences for children due to improper treatment.

3. Pay attention to your child’s daily care

Children's diet is very important. Most children generally have bad habits of partial and picky eating. If this continues for a long time, certain nutrients needed by the child's body will not be replenished, resulting in a lack of trace elements and hindering the synthesis of melanocytes, thus forming white spots. Therefore, parents must reasonably regulate their children's daily diet, but they must eat less foods containing vitamin C, as vitamin C will cause the interruption of melanin synthesis and aggravate the condition. In addition, we should pay attention to the care of the white spots on children and guide the children's emotions at the same time. Bad emotions can also cause the spread of white spots.
