What to do if there are white spots on the child's fingertips

The doctor said that the reason why children have white spots on their hands is not a disease but a lack of a mineral. This mineral will not cause harm to the child's body but will make the child's body weaker. If the human body lacks a little bit of multiple minerals, the body will send out signals to remind people to pay attention. This is very normal. Take the child to the hospital for a test and you will know what needs to be supplemented. The opinions are just for reference and do not represent the doctor's opinion. If you don't mind changing the child's appearance at will, you must get the doctor's consent.

1. In clinical work, we found that some people with calcium and zinc deficiency will experience this situation. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a trace element test to determine the cause of the disease and receive appropriate treatment. Growth and development are inseparable from six major nutrients: protein, fat, starch, vitamins, mineral elements and dietary fiber. Mineral elements play an all-round role in human growth and development, from the construction and repair of body tissues to physiological metabolism and enhancing immune function, and even have a direct role in preventing and curing diseases.

2. Mineral elements whose daily requirement accounts for more than one ten-thousandth of the human body weight are called macroelements (such as calcium, magnesium, etc.), and those below one ten-thousandth are called trace elements. Among the 14 essential trace elements currently confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO), zinc ranks first. White spots on the nails are not usually a specific disease, but may be a symptom of a mineral deficiency.

3. Some parents have reported that their children are easily awakened during night sleep, sweat a lot, and suffer from leg pain and cramps after strenuous exercise. These are all manifestations of calcium deficiency, also known as growing pains. Symptoms of zinc deficiency in children include dull skin, dry and yellow hair, ringworm on the face, poor appetite, slow growth and development, decreased immune function, and susceptibility to illness. At present, the hospital's method of checking trace elements and calcium is simple, and only a drop of peripheral blood is needed to detect them.

I hope the above can give you a reference, but it is just a reference and you still need to consult a doctor for specific advice. It is normal for the body to lack some minerals. You just need to eat more nutritious foods, get more sun and exercise, and you don’t need to worry too much about your child. As long as the doctor's examination shows that there is no major problem with the child, the white spots on the fingers are temporary and will disappear.
