What should I do if my child has capillary dilation?

For a family, the most important thing is that their children can grow up healthily. However, due to the poor physical constitution of children, they are easily attacked by some diseases. What should we do when a child's capillaries dilate? Many people may not know much about capillary dilation. Let's read this article and see what to do when a child's capillaries dilate.

Telangiectasia in children usually occurs on the face, neck, back of the head, and scalp at birth or shortly after birth. It can be unilateral and scattered, or bilateral and multiple. In children, capillary dilation initially presents as a light red, dark red, or purple-red lesion of varying sizes on the skin or mucous membranes, ranging from the size of a needle tip to a limb or half of the trunk. The color deepens after crying, with clear boundaries and various shapes, not protruding above the skin, but higher in some areas. After compression, the lesion partially or completely fades and the surface becomes smooth.

In children, telangiectasia is seen with large, irregular, dilated blood vessels with thin walls. Laboratory examination showed anemia, which may be aggravated by repeated bleeding, and coagulation tests were normal. There is pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Peripheral blood picture shows erythrocytes, normal coagulation time and platelets, and slightly reduced coagulation factor V. Children's telangiectasia gradually develops into telangiectasia on the skin and mucous membranes, and even internal bleeding. Experiments: There are no special abnormalities. Children's telangiectasia has a clear family history and is generally not difficult to diagnose.

The baby's skin hygiene must be taken care of. Wash the baby's face with warm water every day. The towel used for washing the face should be soft, and the face pad and towel should be kept clean. When washing your face, you can use baby soap to remove excess oil from your face. Those with mild symptoms generally do not require treatment and will recover on their own after a few weeks. Those with severe symptoms should go to the hospital in time for anti-inflammatory and anti-infection treatment.

The above is an introduction to capillary dilation in children. Although capillary dilation can be considered a skin disease, it will not cause much pain to the body. However, if not treated in time, it can easily affect the beauty of the face, damage a person's image, and endanger mental health, which requires great attention.
