Observing children is very important, as problems can be found in many aspects of them. For example, observing a child's walking posture, as well as their eyes and mouth, can promptly detect any abnormalities that the child may have. Some children have white circles around their mouths, but their parents don't know what's going on. So, what's the reason for the white circle around a child's mouth?
There is a circle of white skin around the child's mouth, which requires parents to observe whether the child has any bad habits in daily life, such as liking to lick and bite their lips, especially in winter. Many children like to bite their lips and do not like to wear masks when going out. This can easily lead to the occurrence of lip inflammation when exposed to the wind.
If it is determined that the skin around the child's mouth has turned white, it is an abnormal color and is likely to be white pityriasis. Also pay attention to whether it is vitiligo. Especially vitiligo, the skin also turns white because the melanocytes in the skin are damaged and the pigmentation is lost, resulting in the skin turning white.
The white area around the mouth caused by vitiligo is very white, which is different from the white caused by other conditions. Of course, whether it's lip inflammation or other conditions, for parents, they can first take their children to a children's hospital to register for dermatology. If the white area around the child's mouth is caused by lip inflammation, the doctor will treat it with targeted medication.
