During the growth process of babies, parents need to pay close attention to their health status at all times. If any diseases occur, they can be treated in the early stages to reduce the harm caused to the baby. So, if a baby has white spots on their face, let's take a look at what to do about them?
If a baby has white spots on their face, it is important to first identify the disease. It may be vitiligo, but more often it is a simple pityriasis. It may have oval or round pale white spots with a lot of flaking on the surface, usually not painful or itchy. Simple pityriasis has no symptoms and is related to factors such as sun exposure, lack of vitamins, and friction stimulation. It requires a balanced diet and good sun protection.
If vitiligo is a symptom of vitiligo, it can be seen that the boundaries of the skin lesions are clear, and the color around the lesions will be darker, which can be single or multiple. To distinguish vitiligo from simple pityriasis, a skin CT scan can be performed. After identifying the cause, it is necessary to follow the doctor's plan and receive systematic treatment, usually by applying some ointment.
White spots on the baby's face may also be caused by a lack of trace elements or malnutrition, so parents should pay attention to arranging the baby's diet reasonably and not let the baby have picky or selective eating habits. If it is a deficiency of trace elements, in addition to a reasonable diet, it is also necessary to take some medicines that supplement trace elements.
