Every parent is particularly concerned about their child's health, so when their child shows symptoms of illness, parents will pay extra attention. However, some illnesses do not have obvious symptoms, such as some parents discovering white spots on their child's belly. So, what is the reason for having white spots on their child's belly?
If a child has white spots on their body, they need to be alert to the possibility of vitiligo. The cause of vitiligo is not very clear, and treatment is also very complicated. Therefore, if a child has white spots on their body and suspects it is vitiligo, it is best to seek treatment early. After all, vitiligo is a disease that can be detected earlier with a smaller area, and treatment is relatively easier.
In addition, tinea corporis may also cause white spots on the stomach, but it should be noted that the white spots on tinea corporis are usually accompanied by peeling. A fungal examination can be done, and if it is confirmed to be tinea corporis, topical ointment can be used for treatment. In addition, depigmented nevi or depigmented nevi can also cause white spots.
So, if white spots without peeling are found on the child's body, parents and friends must pay attention and take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and corresponding treatment as soon as possible. Otherwise, once vitiligo develops severely and spreads throughout the body, it will still cause considerable trouble for the child's future life, study, and even work.
