Uneven skin tone on children's faces

Children generally have weaker body resistance and poorer digestive abilities. If the food they eat is unhygienic, it can easily cause diarrhea or roundworms. Once there are parasites in the body, the baby will lose appetite, have a pale complexion, and uneven facial skin color. At this time, you can take some medicine to remove roundworms.

1. What’s wrong with the baby’s uneven skin color? There are two possibilities for uneven facial skin color. One is roundworms, which can be treated by stool tests in the hospital. The other is white pityriasis, which can be treated with quinolones ointment. Instructions: Give your child calcium supplements for treatment. Suggestions: 1) Take your child for a stool test first to see if it is a roundworm infection; 2) If the child is 1 year old, deworming is not recommended. A routine deworming can be done when the child is 2 years old; 3) If it is pityriasis, you don’t need to worry about it, most children have it (but it’s best to get it checked).

2. Why is the baby's skin color uneven? Babies are a group that is more susceptible to illness, and are also a group that is easier to detect and treat in a timely manner. This requires us to have enough patience to take care of the baby. There are many symptoms that may occur during infancy, including high fever, uneven skin color and other problems. Why do babies have uneven color and how should this symptom be treated?

There is no necessary connection between white spots on children's faces and intestinal parasites. Someone observed 1,650 patients with white spots on their faces and found that the false positive rate of parasitic infection was as high as 70%. That is to say, 70% of children with white spots on their faces do not have worms in their stomachs. Therefore, it is unreliable to diagnose ascariasis based solely on "worm spots". The diagnosis of whether a child is infected with ascariasis can only be based on stool test results or the detection of ascariasis in the stool.

It may be vitiligo or pityriasis alba, which may be caused by malnutrition. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. Suggestions: In the early stage of vitiligo, the white spots are slightly depigmented and the boundary with the surrounding normal skin is unclear. If this happens to people with fair skin, it is often difficult to make a timely diagnosis. Carefully observe whether the surface of the white spots is smooth and free of dandruff. The white spots are pale white or milky white. If the boundary is unclear or spreads toward the normal skin, it may be vitiligo. Vitiligo often manifests with the following symptoms:

1. There is usually no itching sensation, or even if there is itching, it is very mild. 2. The number of depigmented spots is small, usually only 1-2, and most of them appear on exposed skin.

3. Except for the loss of pigmentation, the skin at the depigmented area is the same as the surrounding skin, without any changes such as itching, desquamation or atrophy.

4. Early vitiligo should be considered first when there are no other skin diseases. There are many types of white spot diseases, including: vitiligo, albinism, tinea versicolor, pityriasis alba, etc. White spots are not necessarily vitiligo, but vitiligo is white spots. Warm reminder: Vitiligo is no longer an incurable disease. To face the disease correctly, it is recommended to go to a regular dermatology hospital for consultation and diagnosis.

From the above expression, we can conclude that the uneven color of the baby's skin has nothing to do with parasites, so there is no need to blindly clean the baby's internal organs. Secondly, uneven skin color may be caused by malnutrition such as vitiligo, which requires us to provide nutritional supplements for the baby and go to the hospital for treatment in time.
