When coffee spots appear, they do not have a big impact on people's bodies, but they mainly affect people's appearance. Increase people's psychological burden. Children, in particular, are prone to problems such as coffee spots due to their weak immunity. So what methods should be used to solve the problem of coffee spots on children?

Coffee spots are very harmful and require timely medical intervention

"It's just unsightly for a baby to have coffee spots. Besides, the child is so young, so let's deal with it later!" Many friends who have coffee spots have this idea.

Medical research shows that once coffee spots are formed, they will continue to grow with the body, and some patients will experience pathological changes. If coffee spots grow on exposed parts such as the face and neck, it will greatly affect your appearance and cause a heavy psychological burden. At the same time, if the coffee spots are large in area and large in number, they may be a sign of neurofibroma. Obviously, if you have coffee stains, you should not think about "waiting and seeing" and removing them in time is the right choice!

When is the best time to treat coffee spots?

A birthmark expert at the Birthmark Medical Center of Guizhou Dermatology Hospital pointed out that coffee spots can be safely treated three months after the baby is born. This is because the baby's skin is thin, the metabolism is active, and the skin has a strong self-repair ability, so the treatment effect is best. Since fewer treatments are required and the cost is lower, it can also prevent children from developing unhealthy psychology due to facial defects.

But the baby is young and has weak resistance. Which treatment method is the safest and most reliable?

When treating your baby's café au lait spots, damaging treatments are strictly prohibited. At present, the Birthmark Medical Center of Guizhou Dermatology Hospital uses the province's advanced technology "3D electronic mirror" to treat baby café-au-lait spots. It is safe, painless and thorough, and babies as young as three months old can safely receive treatment.

Due to different physical conditions of patients, treatment plans will be different. Patients should strictly follow the instructions of their attending physician and should not easily believe in so-called "common sense" or online information. It mainly includes the following aspects:

First, follow the course of treatment. Many patients do not see obvious results after the first treatment, so they subjectively believe that the treatment is not effective and give up further treatment. In fact, birthmark recovery requires a certain course of treatment, and you should never stop treatment at will.

Secondly, keep the birthmark treatment area clean to avoid infection and friction. After a period of time after birthmark treatment, any indurated skin at the treated area needs to fall off on its own. Do not peel it off with your hands, otherwise the pigmentation will be severe and scars will easily be left.

Again, it should be noted that after the scab of the birthmark treatment area falls off, there may be temporary pigmentation in the area. To prevent or reduce this situation, sunscreen and freckle removal products can be used reasonably.
