summary

Bestie told me some time ago that some white spots on her arm were found on her arm the other two days ago. She also recommended me to make complaints about skin care products. But after that, she was not able to tell her when she went to the check-up. It was vitiligo. Let me talk about what common symptoms of vitiligo are.

What are the common symptoms of vitiligo

First, the skin of vitiligo showed that the epidermal melanocytes and melanocytes were significantly reduced or absent. The number of melanocytes positive for DOPA staining in basal layer decreased or disappeared. The skin lesions are local depigmentation spots, often milky white, or light pink, with smooth surface and no rash. The white spot boundary is clear, the edge pigment increases compared with the normal skin, and the hair in the white spot is normal or white.

Second, the lesions are more likely to occur in the sun exposed and friction injured parts, such as the face, upper legs, neck, forearm extension side and hand back, waist, abdomen and sacrococcygeal, axillary and pudendal, elbow and knee joints, and the lesions are more symmetrical distribution. Leukoplakia is also often arranged in strips according to the distribution of ganglion segments (or skin segments), which is unilateral. In addition to skin damage, labia, labia, glans and inner prepuce mucosa are often involved.

Third: vitiligo often has the following symptoms: no itching, even if there is a very slight. The number of discoloration spots is small, generally only 1-2 pieces, and most of them appear on the skin of the exposed parts. In addition to depigmentation, the skin at the decolorization spot is the same as the surrounding skin, without itching, desquamation or atrophy. In the absence of other skin diseases, early vitiligo should be considered first.
