Causes of white spots on children's arms

Pay attention when white spots appear on children's arms. They may be caused by diseases such as tinea versicolor, tinea versicolor, depigmented spots, and apigmented nevus. Observe whether the surface of the white spots is white or milky white, and whether there is any peeling or itching. If the white spots have unclear boundaries and spread to normal skin, it may be vitiligo, which is difficult to diagnose with the naked eye in the early stages. Therefore, in order to find out what specifically causes the white spots on children's arms, parents are advised to take their children to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible so that targeted treatment can be taken.

Causes of white spots on children’s arms:

1. Prolonged exposure to the sun

Sun exposure, especially excessive exposure to the sun, systemic diseases, etc. are also one of the causes of vitiligo. In addition, the intensification of industrial pollution and excessive personal stress are also common causes of vitiligo.

2. Human constitution

When some patients lack trace elements such as copper, zinc and iron in their bodies, the activity of tyrosinase may be reduced, affecting melanin metabolism. Therefore, the lack of certain trace elements in the body of vitiligo patients leads to melanin metabolism disorders.

3. Endocrine

Endocrine system and vitiligo are closely related. Whether it is mental stimulation, improper use of sex hormones or endocrine disorders caused by other diseases, it is very likely to lead to vitiligo.

When a child suffers from vitiligo, his body is still in the developmental stage. Therefore, great care must be taken when treating vitiligo to avoid trauma and infection. At the same time, other concurrent skin diseases must also be actively treated. Parents should also pay attention to children's diet, ensure a scientific and reasonable diet, ensure the body's nutritional supply, and let children exercise more to improve the body's resistance and immunity, which will help recovery from illness.
