Patient's question:
6-year-old baby has 2 white spots on the abdomen, which have been noticed for about a year and seem to have grown a bit now. Very worried. Treatment history and effectiveness: Seen a doctor at the hospital. What kind of help is needed: Hope the doctor can provide some clarification. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
According to the disease prompt sound: Consider three cases. 1, Childhood vitiligo: The initial white spots are mainly characterized by smooth surfaces, no scaling, and no discomfort such as itching or pain. The size of the initial vitiligo varies, ranging from the size of a peanut to the size of a fingernail, often with irregular shapes. It can appear on any part of the body and does not fade away throughout the four seasons. It is prone to reappear as red spots after sun exposure, and even blisters may form. 2, Childhood pityriasis: This condition is more common in children on the face, especially the forehead, and occasionally on the neck and upper chest. The skin lesions appear as round depigmented spots, ranging from the size of a green bean to that of a peanut, with relatively clear boundaries.
