White spots on the child's skin

The appearance of white spots is not a normal phenomenon. A very big defect of white spots is that they will slowly spread throughout the skin. For example, patients with the famous vitiligo may have white spots all over their body. The spread of white spots on the body is not very fast. It is a chronic process and it is very easy to be ignored when they are very small at the beginning. At the same time, if the area where the white spots appear also has symptoms of redness, swelling and itching, it means that the condition is getting worse.

The first one: Derive towards the surrounding normal skin

The spread of vitiligo usually does not occur acutely. It usually takes a period of time and a process to spread. Generally speaking, the edges of white spots will change before spreading, becoming blurred, and gradually evolving towards normal skin.

Second: Changes in quantity and area

After vitiligo spreads, the area and number will change. On the one hand, the area of ​​the original white spots will become larger, and new white spots will appear in the normal skin area. On the other hand, new white spots will appear, or the color of the original white spots will gradually change from light white to cloud white or pure white.

Third: Sensitivity in the white spots

If parents find that their children are scratching the white spots unconsciously, it means that the white spots are itching abnormally. At this time, parents should pay extra attention to see if it is caused by factors such as stimulation from topical medications, trauma, ultraviolet exposure, etc. They also need to communicate with the doctor in time to avoid worsening of the condition.

If the vitiligo on a child spreads, parents should take the child to professional examination and treatment in time, and at the same time do a good job of nursing, strengthen nutrition and a reasonable diet, supplement more trace elements, supplement more nutrition to enhance immunity, and provide timely guidance and encouragement to the child so that the child can regain confidence and happiness. Recovery from vitiligo is not impossible, but parents should not rush it and should be patient and persistent.
