What are the reasons for dark spots on children’s faces?

Dark spots are particularly likely to occur in adult women, and as they age, they may have more and more dark spots on their faces. If a child has dark spots on his face, they may be the well-known freckles. Some people have freckles on their faces when they are young, and the freckles will disappear when they grow up. In general, dark spots on children's faces are rare. The common causes of this skin problem in children are as follows.

Reasons for black spots on children’s faces:

1. Genetic factors

When it comes to heredity, many people will be surprised because in the public's mind, freckles are a problem on the surface of the skin. In fact, spots are hereditary, and if parents do not pay attention to them when they first find spots on their children's faces and allow them to develop, the color of the spots will become darker as the children grow older.

2. Environmental factors

Dry and dehydrated skin is prone to spots. If children stay outdoors for a long time and parents do not take any sun protection measures for their children, it is inevitable that spots will appear on their faces over time.

Removing freckles is a relatively long process. Giving children more vitamin E and vitamin C, combining whitening and moisturizing, can effectively lighten freckles. If the pigment is decomposed and eliminated from the body and the formation of melanin is inhibited, combined with external skin care, the freckle removal will be more lasting and effective.

How to treat freckles:

(1) Avoid direct sunlight. Wear a sun hat and use a parasol when going out in spring and summer. This is an important precaution.

(2) Eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less spicy and other irritating foods, keep bowel movements smooth, and get enough sleep.

(3) Apply 3% hydrogen peroxide cream or 10-20% mercuric acid ointment topically 2-3 times a day to reduce the appearance of freckles and temporarily eliminate them.

(4) Frequent massage of the western part of the face, frequent facial masks, and rubbing the face with egg white, milk, lemon juice, honey, and peeled water chestnuts, or adding a piece of crushed vitamin C to the face cream and applying it on the face can reduce or eliminate freckles.

(5) Oral administration of vitamin C and vitamin E, such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills and Danggui Pills, also has certain benefits.
