Dream - Skin problems such as tinea often occur in children. It is usually characterized by whitening of the skin on the face, neck, chest, or other areas of the skin that feel itchy.
Actually, white spots on a child's skin are not always tinea versicolor. It can also be due to eczema called Balas Bogo (ptyriasi alba). This was explained by Dr. Citra Amelinda, a pediatric specialist.
"Not all white spots are tinea. That's why giving antifungal medication doesn't make them disappear. Especially if the white spots on a baby's face are more common due to heat rash," he said.
Reply bogo, its appearance is in the form of white spots and it does resemble panu, but actually caused by different things. Panu is caused by fungi and occurs more frequently in children. Why?
According to Dr. Citra, this is because the immune system has not fully developed, often sweating due to hot weather, and they move a lot with damp clothing.
"Panu itself is caused by the uncontrolled growth of Malassezia fungus. It can cause itching," said Dr. Citra."
"If dandruff occurs, there are typical symptoms that appear. Among them, spots on the chest or back that can spread to the surrounding body areas. Usually, it is rarely dominant only on the face."
"Skin patches become dry, scaly, and thickened. The patches will decrease when the weather is not humid," said Dr. Citra. "
"To treat ringworm, it is important to immediately change the child's clothes when they sweat. Prioritize clothing made of cotton because it can absorb the child's sweat and is comfortable on the skin."
Apply antifungal cream to your child's skin. If your child feels uncomfortable, itchy, and has trouble sleeping in the area affected by ringworm, do not hesitate to consult a doctor. Ringworm can actually heal on its own within 1-2 weeks, but the skin color may return to normal within 6-12 months.
