Treatment for white spots on baby nails

In fact, it is very difficult to take care of babies' bodies nowadays. This may lead to poor care and some bad phenomena on the body. Sometimes white spots will appear on the nails. Let us now learn about the treatment of white spots on baby nails.

Treatment:

Leukonychia is a common nail disease in children. The distribution pattern of white spots can be divided into several types. The type with just a few small spots can be seen in many normal children and does not require treatment. One type in this case is called leukonychia striata, which is a condition in which many white spots are arranged in horizontal stripes. It is relatively rare and is generally believed to be caused by genetic factors, trauma, or internal factors. The other type is where the entire patch turns white, and is believed abroad to be a condition that AIDS patients are prone to when they are infected with onychomycosis. In fact, doctors have found in their experience that there is a type of onychomycosis called superficial white onychomycosis whose clinical manifestations are very similar to those of this disease. However, the key point of identification is that the white spots of this disease tend to be arranged in horizontal stripes, which is not the case in onychomycosis.

Diagnostic focus

In children or young people, the diagnosis can be made when white spots are arranged horizontally on multiple nails in a pattern.

Treatment and prevention

Whether prevention is successful depends on the degree of self-awareness of the patient when the doctor finds out the cause (the patient scratched, so it is traumatic leukonychia striae) and carefully informs the patient. In many cases, the patient often does not take it seriously or does not care at all, always thinking that they need some treatment to get better, and passively does not scratch, as if there is no active treatment, which will easily lead to failure.

Please do not bite your nails or pick at the skin around your nails, because in addition to paronychia, it can often cause problems with nail growth, such as leukonychia, or an uneven nail surface, causing aesthetic problems.

The above article introduces in detail some treatment methods for white spots on baby nails. I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, if children with white spots on their nails also encounter such a situation, they should go to the hospital for examination in time.
