Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should I handle a one-month-old baby with a small gap in the closure of the anterior cranial fossa?Doctor's answer:
Problems with the fontanelle can close after birth or within 3 months. The anterior fontanelle reaches its maximum size by 6 months and gradually decreases, closing by 1 year of age, with the latest closure possible by 1.5 years. Premature closure can lead to microcephaly, where not only does the anterior fontanelle close early but the head circumference is significantly smaller, being more than 2 standard deviations below normal.Hello, the condition you described may be due to localized hyperpigmentation, which is generally not a major issue. If it affects your appearance, laser removal treatment can be considered, with relatively ideal results. At the same time, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid alcohol.
