If the baby is uncomfortable, it will make parents worry a lot. Many parents do not have much experience in taking care of their babies. When babies have abnormalities, they are also flustered. For example, if some babies have brown spots on their belly, is it eczema?
The brown spots on a baby's belly are generally not eczema, but rather tinea versicolor. Tinea versicolor, also known as sweat spots, is caused by chronic mild fungal infections on the surface of the skin. It is usually asymptomatic, but some patients may experience mild itching. In addition to mild fungal infections, tinea versicolor can also be caused by chronic infections, malnutrition, and other factors. Generally, there are various small brown spots on the stomach, chest, back, and other areas.
The color of tinea versicolor is generally yellow brown or dark brown, and new skin lesions are dark in color, appearing gray, yellow, brown, hazel or brown. If new and old skin lesions coexist, with black and white patches appearing as flower spots, the symptoms begin with many small spots on the chest, back, arms, neck, or other body parts. Soon, the denitrification areas in these areas expanded and merged into a circular or circular spot, ranging in size from millet and soybeans to broad beans, covered with extremely thin bran scales.
If a baby has tinea versicolor, timely treatment is necessary. It is important to take the baby to the hospital for diagnosis. If diagnosed with tinea versicolor, they may be infected by bacteria. Parents should separate their baby's daily necessities from adult's daily necessities to avoid mutual transmission. Then, according to the doctor's advice, it is necessary to thoroughly treat the baby's sweat spots to prevent the recurrence of skin diseases.
