What's wrong with the white spots on the body of a three-month-old baby?

The resistance of a three-month-old baby is very low, so special care is needed to prevent the baby from getting any disease. If you find some white spots on your baby's body, you cannot use medication indiscriminately. The most important thing at this time is to go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible to find the most suitable treatment method.

1. Anemic nevus

The disease occurs in childhood and is mostly seen on the face as light-colored spots. The local area does not turn red due to stimulation or friction, but the surrounding skin turns red.

2. Pityriasis alba

It may be related to dry skin and sun exposure, manifesting as hypopigmented spots with unclear edges and a small amount of white scales on the surface.

3. Non-pigmented mole

The disease occurs at birth or shortly after birth, and the skin lesions are localized pale white spots with jagged edges.

4. Tinea versicolor

The lesions occur on the trunk and upper limbs and are pale white round or oval spots with unclear boundaries and fine scales on the surface. Fungal tests are positive.

5. Albinism

It is a congenital non-progressive disease, often with a family history. The skin and hair all over the body lack pigmentation, the irises of both eyes are transparent, and the choroidal pigment disappears, making it easy to distinguish from vitiligo.

6. Leprosy leukoplakia

It is an incomplete hypopigmented macules with unclear boundaries, loss of surface sensation, and other symptoms of leprosy.

7. Leukoplakia of secondary syphilis

It occurs on the neck, is not pure white, and is positive for syphilis serology.

It should also be differentiated from discoid lupus erythematosus, mucosal leukoplakia, etc.

Vitiligo is a common acquired localized or generalized skin depigmentation disease. It is caused by the disappearance of melanocyte function in the skin, but the mechanism is still unclear. It can occur in any part of the body, most commonly on the back of the fingers, wrists, forearms, face, neck, and around the genitals. It can also occur in the female vulva, mostly in young women.
