This year’s 8-year-old Coco is a cute little girl, with big eyes, long eyelashes, beautiful like a doll. However, recently Coco has a trouble, mouth around a circle grew a lot of red “beard”, usually love to smile Coco had to wear a mask. Recently, Cocoa’s “beard” color is getting deeper and deeper, do the mother’s urgent … … Winter climate is dry, many people have skin problems Cocoa mother said: “just into the winter that moment, the child always yells the mouth is tight, it’s hard (this is a precursor to the hemp to pay attention to the). Oh). I didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking it was the dry weather, so I put some face oil on my child. But I did not expect, a few days later, the child’s symptoms not only did not reduce, but instead grew some red rashes, from a distance it seems to grow a circle of ‘beard’, and the color is getting darker and darker. The child had to lick it with his tongue from time to time.” The more you lick the more dry, lick out the “beard” “Many of the children deeply long” beard “troubled. Parents also generally said that children often appear around the lips of small red patches, small pimples, and occasionally the skin near the chapped and tiny flakes.” What is the reason? Is it a problem with saliva? Although saliva has a certain sterilization and moisturizing effect, but some of the enzymes in the saliva on the lips epithelial cells also have a certain stimulating effect. Prolonged stimulation, the protective layer of the epidermis of the lips is destroyed, it will trigger inflammation. Got tongue licking dermatitis people, in addition to growing a “beard”, some even become a “sausage mouth”, lips often appear around the red rash, cracking and peeling phenomenon. What’s wrong with kids growing beards in winter? After listening to Coco’s mom’s description, the doctor quickly decided that the child is a “tongue lick dermatitis”. If left untreated, the skin around the lips will turn dark brown and hard to fade. “Winter climate is dry and cold, many children will feel dry lips, will often lick lips or pursed lips, caused by tongue licking dermatitis, many children feel dry lips, will develop the habit of licking with the tongue, and often lick the lips will destroy the skin surface of the protective layer, so that the lips are easy to water loss, resulting in inflammation and the formation of dermatitis. Over time, licking lips into a child’s habit, the more lick the more want to lick, the more lick the more dry, skin inflammation gradually aggravated, the pigment continues to accumulate, the formation of the “beard.” The doctor explained, “The symptom is mainly manifested as a circle of well-defined red spots around the mouth, and may also appear pimples, cracks and flaking phenomenon.” “There’s nothing wrong with applying creams when suffering from tongue lick dermatitis, but the key is in habit correction. When parents find their child with just such symptoms, they should take them to the hospital right away, otherwise it will be difficult for the ‘mustache’ to fade when it gets darker in color.” Children grow “beard” is a disease, correct habits is the key Be sure to say ‘no’ to the child’s habit of licking lips or pursing lips, and ask them to correct their habits. “Don’t let your child spend too much time outdoors when it’s windy. Drink plenty of water, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and eat less fried and irritating foods. After meals and before going to bed, you can apply some moisturizing oil and lip balm to your child. In addition, in daily life, parents should let the child drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, don’t eat too much meat, because there are tongue licking dermatitis children, almost all of them are manifested as “internal heat”, eat meat will be more on fire; outdoor air conditions are bad, or windy days, don’t let the child go out. When the weather is dry, moisturize your child in time. However, it should be noted that the skin care products for children must be children’s special, the more natural ingredients the better. Children grow “beard” is actually a disease, as long as the habits changed, hyperpigmentation will slowly disappear, parents do not have to worry too much.
