White spots on the child

Small white spots on children's bodies may be a symptom of vitiligo. Vitiligo has a relatively large impact on patients. If not treated in time, the affected area will expand and cause greater health problems for children. If you want to treat vitiligo, you need to find out the cause of the disease first, and then you can prescribe the right medicine to completely cure vitiligo. So, what are the specific causes of vitiligo? The following will introduce you in detail.

Genetics is a major cause of vitiligo in children. Experts point out that children whose parents suffer from vitiligo are much more likely to develop vitiligo than normal children. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their children's daily care and treatment, help them get rid of some bad living habits, enhance their children's immunity, and prevent the occurrence of vitiligo.

2. Unreasonable diet and lack of trace elements

With the improvement of living standards, children's daily diet is gradually enriched. In addition, due to the current one-child policy, parents are more doting on their children and do not restrict their daily diet. They even often buy snacks and drinks for their children. Over time, it is very easy for children to develop bad eating habits such as partiality and picky eating. In the long run, it will lead to nutritional imbalance in children, insufficient content of trace elements, reduced synthesis of melanin, and induce vitiligo.

Children are in a stage where they love to play and make noises, and their self-protection awareness is relatively poor, so it is inevitable that they will suffer injuries in their daily lives. The occurrence of skin trauma can cause a high stress response in the child's body, affecting the basic functions of the body. It can also cause disharmony of the injured body, malnutrition of the skin, and cause white spots to appear on the wound, resulting in vitiligo!

4. External factors

Such as sun exposure, chemicals, fungal infection, etc. There are many skin diseases that can cause skin hypopigmentation or depigmentation.

Some inflammatory skin diseases can cause white spots on local parts of the skin. These white spots usually occur before other inflammatory skin diseases, such as eczema and psoriasis, which destroy the melanocytes in the basal layer of the skin and cause skin depigmentation.
