Question
My baby is 18 months old and has suddenly developed faint white spots on their body over the past two to three months. These are most prominent on the shoulders and hips, with no spots found elsewhere. The edges are not very clear, and the surface feels slightly dry without any discomfort symptoms. I would like to know what kind of problem this might be caused by.
Answer
From the appearance, the primary consideration is skin disease and a deficiency of trace elements. It is recommended to supplement zinc appropriately, breastfeed, and increase nutritional intake in the diet. Observe the situation first; if the spots continue to increase, it is necessary to consult a dermatologist for a check-up and follow-up with treatment for the underlying cause. Wishing your baby good health.
