Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should I deal with a small gap in the fontanel of a one-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Problems with the fontanelle: The fontanelle can close after birth or within 3 months. The anterior fontanelle reaches its maximum size by 6 months and gradually shrinks, closing by 1 year of age. The latest it can close is by 1.5 years. Premature closure can lead to microcephaly, not only with early closure of the anterior fontanelle but also with significantly reduced head circumference, more than 2 standard deviations below normal.Hello, the condition you described may be due to localized hyperpigmentation. It's generally not a major issue, but if it affects your appearance, you can consider laser removal treatment, which is quite effective. At the same time, pay attention to a light diet and avoid alcohol.
