What causes white spots on babies\’ faces? Is there a worm in your stomach?

A mother said that her child had some round white spots on his face. The old man said that these were \”worm spots\” and that he had worms in his stomach, so he had to buy deworming medicine for his child. But in fact, the white spots on the face are a benign skin disease called pityriasis alba. There is no definite evidence of the cause. Some surveys and studies show that ultraviolet radiation, poor skin hygiene, lack of vitamins, etc. are possible causes. Most vitiligo occurs in children between the ages of 3 and 16 and lasts from a few months to a few years. Generally there is no need to worry, this condition can resolve on its own and does not require additional treatment. However, depending on the possible causes, you can pay attention to the following points in daily care: avoid direct sunlight on the affected area, apply more moisturizer and eat more fruits and vegetables to reduce friction on the affected area and protect the hygiene of the affected area. However, please note that if the white spots continue to expand, consult a doctor in time. But there is no research, there is a relationship between white spots on the face and worms in the stomach. So how to tell if there are worms in the child\’s stomach? Seeing is believing. The baby saw bugs in his stool. At night, I used a flashlight to examine the baby\’s anus and saw tiny white worms that were moving like threads. If you suspect your child has worms, go to the hospital for a stool test. However, it should be noted that after human beings are infected with parasites, the discharge of eggs is intermittent, so samples should be retained multiple times and tested repeatedly. Once you find worms in your child\’s stool, or if you suspect there are worms, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and listen to the doctor\’s treatment suggestions. Do not blindly give your child anti-worming medicine. Is it possible to give children deworming medicine regularly? Can\’t! First of all, we need to make it clear that modern sanitary conditions have improved. We no longer drink raw water and rarely eat raw or cold food. Therefore, human parasitic diseases are uncommon in children under 2 years of age. Secondly, the World Health Organization recommends that children over 2 years old be considered for deworming treatment only if they are diagnosed with \”intestinal worms\”. For children under two years old, their organ development is not yet complete. Most anthelmintic drugs contain ingredients that affect liver function and may have side effects. Therefore, it is not recommended for children under two years old to take anthelmintic drugs. Even if parasites are diagnosed, deworming drugs should be taken under the guidance of a doctor, and children should not be blindly given deworming drugs.
