Will white spots on children disappear on their own?

When a child has any physical problems, it will cause parents to be extremely worried. Because most children are the apple of their parents' eyes, and if the human skin lacks melanin, it will cause a series of skin diseases. White spots on the skin are a skin disease caused by a lack of melanin. If you find white spots on a child, will they disappear on their own?

It is very rare for vitiligo to disappear on its own and generally does not occur. There are many white spot diseases in life, among which vitiligo is a common one, but it is not certain that white spots are necessarily vitiligo. White spot diseases such as anemic nevus, amelanotic nevus, and tinea versicolor can easily be confused with vitiligo. Therefore, parents are advised to seek professional diagnosis for their children in a timely manner after discovering white spots on their children's faces to avoid delaying the disease.

What is the cause of white spots on children's faces?

1. Pityriasis: If a 2-year-old child has white spots on his face, and they are symmetrically distributed in a round or oval shape, the boundary between the spots and the normal skin color is not clear, the skin is dry and scaly, and they do not disappear for a long time, this symptom is generally pityriasis, not vitiligo, so parents should not panic. After a period of symptomatic treatment, the child will recover.

2. Vitiligo: There is no pigment in the white spots, and their shapes and sizes are irregular. There is a clear boundary between the white spots and the normal skin color. There is no pain or itching, and no scaling. They are generally symmetrically distributed. Vitiligo is a relatively stubborn skin disease that is difficult to cure. The causes of the disease are generally genetic factors, low immunity, low disease resistance, endocrine disorders, or endocrine disorders.

3. Anemic nevus: If a 2-year-old child has white spots on his face, and the edges of the white spots are blurred with the normal skin color, and the spots no longer continue to grow larger with age, and do not turn red when rubbed hard, then these white spots are not vitiligo, but hypopigmented spots, also called anemic nevus. You can use appropriate medications for treatment.

The above is an introduction to what white spots on the face of a 2-year-old child are related to. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. When white spots are found on the face of a 2-year-old child, you should carefully observe, distinguish and compare the external manifestations and symptoms of the white spots and the degree of their growth. If necessary, examine and treat under the guidance of a doctor. Remember not to take medicine blindly based on your subjective assumptions, so as not to delay the best time for treatment and cause harm to the child.
