Many people have white spots on their faces, but they don’t know what causes them. Some even wonder if the white spots on their faces are caused by roundworms. In fact, white spots on the face are not necessarily caused by roundworms. They may also be caused by skin diseases such as psoriasis. Examination can also be done to find out the cause.

1. Not necessarily roundworms

White spots on the face are not necessarily caused by roundworms. You can take intestinal worm clearing medicine and observe the child's feces and skin condition. If the child excretes roundworms during bowel movements and the white spots on the face disappear, it may be caused by roundworms.

2. Other reasons

If there is no change in the skin, it may be caused by other reasons, such as psoriasis, lack of vitamin B, pityriasis alba, etc. These symptoms can cause white spots on the face. If it is confirmed that the white spots on the child's face are not caused by roundworms, parents do not need to worry. Go to the hospital for examination in time and receive early treatment.

Also observe whether the baby has symptoms such as loss of appetite, drooling, and teeth grinding. If you are not sure, you can take the baby to the hospital for examination and test the stool. It is not too troublesome. It is best to confirm carefully before taking the medicine. Nowadays, it is rare for babies to have white spots on their faces due to parasites in their stomachs. This is because the food we eat now has been cultivated with pesticides, and the probability of insect eggs and parasites is very low. Mainly based on clinical observations, most of them are due to a lack of vitamins, especially vitamin B. For example, if a child is picky about food and does not like to eat vegetables, white spots will appear on his skin. Then, we need to correct his feeding habits, let him eat more vegetables, and supplement some B vitamins. Generally, the symptoms will disappear in about a month.
