In daily life, the children we see are mostly white and tender, with skin as smooth and translucent as peeled eggs. They are pink and cute, and we can't help but take a closer look. But occasionally, it can be noticed that some children have uneven skin color and patches of white spots on their faces. What's going on? Does a child with calcium deficiency develop white patches on their face?
In general, if a child lacks calcium, they will not develop white patches on their face. The so-called white spots appearing on a child's face are likely to be pityriasis albuginea, which is a very common skin disease in children. In addition, white patches on a child's face may also indicate vitiligo. It is recommended that parents take their child for relevant examinations as soon as possible.
Because there are various causes of vitiligo, but vitiligo is a chronic disease that is relatively difficult to treat, parents and children need to cooperate with treatment for a long time. After being diagnosed by doctors, targeted treatment plans can be adopted. After persisting for a period of time, generally, complete recovery can be achieved.
Usually, parents should help their children do a good job of facial cleaning. They should avoid using cleaning products with high alkalinity to wash their faces. If they feel itchy on the face, they must not scratch it hard. It is recommended to use aloe vera cream to wipe it. Parents must urge their children to develop good living habits, strictly follow medical advice, and eat more fruits and vegetables, which are very beneficial for the recovery of the condition.
