Patient's question:
The baby has been about ten months old, and there has always been a white thing on his stomach. Today, during the physical examination at the county children's hospital, the doctor said that the white thing on the stomach seemed to have expanded a bit compared to the examination three months ago. The doctor believed that the expansion of the white thing is related to a lack of enzymes and said it is related to genetics. He mentioned that general hospitals cannot test for this condition.Doctor's answer:
At 9 and a half months, during the health check-up, height, weight, head circumference, and other measurements were all normal, except for the white thing on the abdomen, which the doctor questioned might be due to an enzyme deficiency. I think the possibility of a birthmark is higher. That white patch looks a bit dirty, but it doesn't look disgusting or anything. At 9 months, breastfeeding suddenly stopped, and they have been eating fruits, rice porridge, rice, meat, and fish, with half of it being formula. At less than 4 months, during a health check-up, the doctors often prescribed fish oil for one to two months. Generally, their spirits, bowel movements, and temperament are mostly fine. I don't know if there are any other adverse reactions besides those due to the enzyme deficiency.
