White spots on the child's chest

Even today when modern medicine has developed to a high level, people still feel afraid when they hear about vitiligo, because vitiligo is a skin disease that can spread. If it is not effectively controlled, it will spread to a person's entire body. In the early stages of vitiligo, small white spots usually appear on the surface of the skin. If parents find white spots on their children's chest, is it vitiligo?

First of all, kids love to eat snacks.

In the early stages of the disease, segmental vitiligo is small and concentrated, and this stage is particularly easy to treat. But after being cured, the child has no self-control and cannot resist the temptation of snacks. Parents are also busy with work and have no time to look after their children. As a result, children mainly eat snacks every day, supplemented by meals. If this continues for a long time, the child's nutrition will not be adequate, the body will lack trace elements such as copper, iron, and zinc, the synthesis of melanocytes will be blocked, and vitiligo will be induced again.

Secondly, children are more susceptible to trauma.

Children are active by nature. They don't like to stay indoors and like to run around. Bumps and bruises are inevitable during running, jumping and playing. They usually don't pay special attention to these things. As long as it doesn't affect their play, they usually won't tell their parents to avoid being scolded. Parents are busy with work and life and have no time to pay attention to these things. Eventually the wound became infected, the surrounding skin was damaged, and segmental vitiligo recurred.

Finally, children are under great pressure to study.

Nowadays, parents all hope their sons will become successful and their daughters will become outstanding. When children were in primary school, they were enrolled in various cram schools, which took up a lot of their weekend time. The heavy homework in school, the remedial homework outside of school, the strict teachings of teachers, and the earnest expectations of parents invisibly put tremendous pressure on children. Living in this environment for a long time, is it possible that the chance of recurrence of segmental vitiligo in children is low?

In short, there are many factors that affect the occurrence of vitiligo, including genetic factors, ultraviolet radiation factors, nutritional imbalance factors, immune abnormalities factors, trace element deficiency factors, mental factors, traumatic factors, endocrine disorders factors, skin allergies factors, chemical stimulation factors, skin friction and compression factors, etc. It can be said that the triggering factors of vitiligo involve almost every aspect of life, and patients need to strengthen skin protection in their daily lives.

The above is the relevant introduction to the question "What are the causes of white spots on children's bodies?" I hope it will be helpful to you.
