After a newborn baby is born, he or she cannot adapt to the outside world so quickly, so there will be many adverse reactions in his or her body.

For example, vitiligo can also occur on the mucosa, but its histological changes are mainly depigmentation, and generally there is no manifestation such as hyperkeratosis, so it does not belong to mucosal leukoplakia. Leukoplakia in dermatology includes lesions in the oral cavity and vulva.
