The top of your baby's head is white. Do you know what this is?

If the top of your baby's head turns white, it is definitely abnormal. This is most likely a symptom of tinea capitis. Parents need to carefully observe changes in symptoms. If there are signs of becoming more serious, it is best to take the child to the hospital for an authoritative examination to find out what is going on as soon as possible.

1. If there are hairs on the white areas of the baby's scalp, it means it is tinea capitis. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up and give medication after a confirmed diagnosis.

This situation may be a skin problem.

Guidance:

Go to the dermatology department for detailed examination in time, and you can use aloe vera gel for local application treatment.

2. This is called "vernix caseosa". The elderly say that it is the baby excreting "fetal toxins". When a baby is born, his forehead is full of it. As he grows, by the time he is three months old, there should only be about 3-4 square centimeters where the skull has not yet closed (I forgot what the professional term is). Use baby bath gel or baby oil to clean it when taking a bath (be gentle), and it will disappear after the skull is completely closed (and hardened).

3. What is the matter with the white patches on the baby's scalp?

It should be some baby's dandruff. You can use boiled vegetable oil and then apply it to the area where the baby's dandruff grows. After it becomes soft, you can gently comb it off with a comb.

4. Why does the child's scalp turn white?

White spots are a sign of poor health

According to statistics, nearly half of vitiligo patients suffer from choroiditis, retinitis or uveal atrophy. The most common eye lesion in patients with vitiligo is periocular depigmentation, and iris transillumination defects at the pigmented edge of the pupil may also be seen. Vitiligo eye disease generally does not affect vision, because most of the destructive eye damage caused by vitiligo is confined to the periphery and not close to the cornea.

What's wrong with my child's white scalp? What should I do if I have white spots on my body? In today's society, everyone is pursuing perfection, and vitiligo is undoubtedly a disease that makes people feel very uncomfortable. The treatment of vitiligo is not as difficult as imagined, and there is no need to worry too much. As long as you find the right symptoms and use the right medicine, you must remember to detect and treat it early.
