Is early leukoplakia infectious

summary

There is a very obvious white spot on my colleagues' face. The longer the white spot, the bigger it is. I'm afraid it will be infectious. So I went to the hospital for examination. It's leukoplakia, and then I treated it immediately. The situation is a little better. In order to prevent this situation, I'd like to introduce to you whether early leukoplakia is infectious.

Is early leukoplakia infectious

First: leukoplakia is not infectious, leukoplakia is due to local melanin significantly reduced or missing caused by skin, mucous membrane and hair pigment loss changes, does not have pathogens, so leukoplakia is not infectious. But there is a certain genetic probability, but more related to the environment, such as life, diet and many other aspects.

Second: the occurrence of leukoplakia is not caused by infectious pathogenic factors (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, spirochetes, etc.) and does not have pathogens. It is a non infectious disease caused by a variety of factors. Therefore, leukoplakia is not infectious and belongs to non infectious disease. Direct contact with leukoplakia patients will not lead to the occurrence of the disease.

Third: infection refers to a parasitic process in the human body after the pathogen invades the human body. The main condition of infection is pathogen. Leukoplakia is due to local skin melanin metabolism disorder caused by decolorization changes, does not have pathogens, no source of infection, therefore, leukoplakia is not infectious.
