Baby's skin turns white after eczema

There are many cases of babies developing eczema, and if white spots appear after the eczema, parents should pay attention to it. Most babies have white spots, which is related to vitiligo, a common hereditary disease. If the child is diagnosed with vitiligo, timely treatment measures and care should be taken.

Causes of vitiligo in infants

1. Genetic factors :

Vitiligo can be inherited and has a certain probability of inheritance. Medical reports have shown that both monozygotic twins have developed the disease, which shows that vitiligo may be a disease controlled by an autosomal dominant gene. If a baby develops vitiligo at birth, it is likely to be closely related to genetic factors. The probability of inheriting vitiligo is much lower than other genetic diseases, but genetic factors causing the disease in infants still need to be taken seriously.

2. Agricultural pollution

Excessive use of chemical drugs on crops, such as pesticides, fungicides and ripening agents, and excessive feeding of growth hormones to meat poultry will result in residues in the body after slaughter, which will have adverse effects on human health.

3. Sun exposure :

Babies' skin is relatively delicate, and excessive exposure to the sun will cause vitiligo. Excessive ultraviolet radiation accelerates the excessive consumption of melanocytes, leading to early decline of melanocytes, the appearance of white spots on the skin, and the formation of vitiligo in babies.

4. Improper diet :

Small foods and drinks are sweet and delicious, and babies can eat them as snacks at any time. After a long time, they will not be able to eat on time, which disrupts their normal eating habits. Some snacks that do not meet hygiene standards may contain many chemical additives, such as dyes, preservatives, sweeteners, etc., which may cause harm to the baby's body. Long-term picky eating leads to insufficient nutrient intake, and malnutrition causes decreased immunity, which affects the normal development of the body and causes the occurrence of many diseases.

5. Contact with harmful substances :

The harm caused by environmental and food pollution to the human body, the rapid population growth and the rapid development of industry have caused varying degrees of damage to the ecological environment, and various pollutants have caused certain impacts on human health. Expert Liu Hongling recommends that materials for house decoration should be selected according to national standards. After decoration is completed, it is best to ventilate the house for more than three months before moving in. Regular ventilation should be maintained after moving in, and environmental monitoring should be carried out if conditions permit.
