Newborns have coffee spots on their faces. What you need to know about coffee spots

Café au lait spots are a type of spot caused by genetics. They have nothing to do with sun exposure or work and rest habits. They are inherited from parents, so it is common to see children with café au lait spots. However, if coffee spots are not treated, they will affect the appearance of the face and also have psychological effects on children. So if you want to remove coffee stains, you must first understand this type of stain. Today I will explain to you what coffee stains are.

Café au lait spots are light brown in color, about 5 cm in diameter, and new café au lait spots may appear before the age of 4. They are hereditary. Moreover, coffee-coffee spots in babies may be caused by neurofibroma, but of course it may be caused by other reasons. In the outpatient clinics of orthopedics, neurology and dermatology, there is occasionally a group of patients whose bodies are covered with map-like light brown pigmentation spots, similar in color to latte art. We call them coffee-stained babies.

Many people ignore the "birthmark" of coffee-coffee spots on babies, but this is not the case. It is a characteristic skin manifestation of a disease, namely neurofibromatosis, which mainly manifests as skin pigmentation spots and multiple tumors. Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant trait, and about half of patients have a family history. This disease is not very rare. The incidence rate of café au lait spots in infants is about 4 per 10,000, and it tends to increase gradually.

The diagnosis rate of coffee-fairy spots is very low. The main reason for this is that medical staff have limited knowledge about it. In fact, as long as their characteristic skin manifestations are mastered, they can further find lesions in other systems of the disease, thereby correctly guiding patients to obtain appropriate treatment. The disease is a chronic progressive disease. In early infancy, patients have few symptoms except for cafe au lait spots on the skin; the symptoms gradually increase with age.

High-end lasers are currently a powerful weapon for treating babies with café au lait spots. Laser can provide safe and selective treatment for babies with café au lait spots. It is fully computer-controlled. The laser emitted can penetrate the epidermis and reach the affected area without affecting the affected skin and tissue. After treatment, the skin will not be damaged and no scars will be left. This technology is currently the safest and most effective treatment method for pigmented nevi. Laser treatment will not irritate the skin and will not cause any harm to the skin.

The above is some knowledge introduction about it. I believe many friends will have a good understanding of it after reading it.
