What is the cause of the black spot in the child's eye?

With the improvement of modern living standards, many mothers have encountered the problem of black spots in their children's eyes. I believe we may have heard of this disease. But it is not a big problem, just like having freckles on your body, it causes great trouble to people. This phenomenon is prone to occur in a humid environment. If you stay in a humid environment for a long time, you are prone to this disease. So, what are the reasons for the black spots in children’s eyes? Take a look at the following to resolve your doubts.

Small blue-black dots or patches can often be seen on the whites of the eyes of normal people, and this is more obvious in preschool children. This is because the choroid is located below the sclera, which is rich in pigments and blood vessels. The sclera is not yet fully developed in children and its thickness is only 2/3 of that of adults. Therefore, through the thin sclera, the pigments and blood vessels of the choroid can be vaguely seen as small blue-black dots.

Generally speaking, if there are small black spots on the white of the eye, from a professional point of view, they may be pigmented spots or nevi on the sclera or conjunctiva. This is just like when a person has freckles or moles on his body. From a medical point of view, it does not affect anything. No treatment is needed. If the black spot grows quickly, you need to go to the hospital for examination or treatment. Consider vitamin A deficiency: Protects the eyes and epithelial tissues throughout the body and indirectly resists infection by various diseases. Deficiency can cause night blindness, dry eyes, corneal softening or even perforation, blindness and low immunity. Vitamin A comes from cod liver oil, carrots, animal liver, kidneys, milk, egg yolks, colored vegetables (pumpkin, cabbage, clay, mustard, seaweed, etc.) and yellow fruits (apricots, persimmons, etc.).

Treatment:

1. The most commonly used treatment is external medication. If topical medications are not selected or used properly, they are often ineffective and may even make the condition worse. Specifically for skin diseases, the following aspects should be noted: The same drug has different dosage forms, such as solutions, pastes, powders, creams, lotions, ointments, tinctures and emulsions. Different dosage forms have different effects and indications, so different dosage forms of topical medications should be selected correctly according to the clinical symptoms and characteristics of skin lesions at different stages of the disease. Generally, in the acute phase, when there is local redness, swelling, blisters, and erosion, liquid compresses are often used, which can have anti-inflammatory and heat dissipation effects. If there is exudation, use liquid compresses first and then oils. When the skin lesions are in the subacute stage, the redness and swelling are reduced, and the exudate is reduced. Pastes, powders and lotions can be used as appropriate to exert anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, astringent and protective effects. When the skin lesions thicken and become lichenified in the chronic stage, special drugs for recurrent psoriasis are currently used mainly to prevent the recurrence of psoriasis, tinea pedis, tinea manuum, etc. Special drugs for recurrent psoriasis are mainly sprayed and applied externally, which reduces the side effects on the body. They have strong penetrating power, long-lasting effect, and have lubricating and skin care effects.

2. Currently, the best way to solve skin problems is laser beauty treatment. The most common laser for removing freckles is ruby ​​laser. This light wave targets black and brown pigments. Pigment spots can absorb this type of laser and decompose it. When the pigment is gradually absorbed by the body, the color becomes lighter. Tattoos and eyebrow tattoos belong to this type of pigment. For other vascular spots and hemangiomas, dye laser can be used. After the hemoglobin in the blood vessels absorbs the laser, it generates heat, causing the microvessels to shrink, and the skin gradually returns to normal.

The above content is an introduction to the issue of why children have black spots in their eyes. I hope that after reading the relevant treatment methods, it will help you understand this disease. Generally speaking, black spots in children's eyes are a sign of pigmentation and are not a big problem, so there is no need to worry too much. If any signs of deterioration are found, you should consider whether it is related to the disease and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
