What are the symptoms of vitiligo patients

summary

There is a piece of skin behind my neck with vitiligo. At the beginning, I didn't meditate, and I didn't care. Later, the area of white spots became larger, so I began to treat it. Let me tell you something about the symptoms of vitiligo patients.

What are the symptoms of vitiligo patients

The first point, vitiligo this disease, all parts of the body skin can be onset, skin lesions for local depigmentation spots, often milky white, can also be light pink, smooth surface, 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. Most of the lesions occurred in the sun and friction injury 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, etc.

The second spot and leukoplakia are usually arranged in strips according to the distribution of ganglion segments (or skin segments). In addition to skin damage, labia, labia, glans and inner prepuce mucosa are often involved. Leukoplakia may spread throughout the body, but the melanocytes in the retina, choroid and pia mater are not involved. In winter, there is depigmentation in the center or edge of the white spot. About 20% of the patients with leukoplakia are highly sensitive to ultraviolet light, and the development of leukoplakia is rapid after the sun exposure. Other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, adrenal insufficiency, pernicious anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, etc.

Third, mechanical stimulation, such as acupuncture, scratching, pressure on skin (tights, hernia brackets, etc.) and other local stimulation, such as burn, infection, sunburn, frostbite, radiation, etc., can cause leukoplakia on the normal skin of patients, or enlarge the original leukoplakia, or even develop systemic homomorphic reaction. The number of leukoplakia is variable, and it can rarely change or disappear by itself. However, in most cases, the number of leukoplakia gradually increases and expands, and the adjacent leukoplakia fuse into irregular large pieces, or even spread all over the body. Most of the patients had no self-conscious symptoms, and a few patients had local itching before or at the same time.

matters needing attention

Vitiligo patients should pay attention to the usual diet: do not eat pepper, as well as fruits containing vitamin C, such as oranges, grapes, hawthorn, kiwifruit, etc. Usually eat more foods containing tyrosine and minerals, such as meat, animal liver, eggs, milk, vegetables, beans, peanuts, black sesame, walnuts, etc. Do not expose to the sun to prevent proliferation. Avoid prolonged and intense sunlight exposure. Many patients often travel and travel in hot summer, and induce or cause the recurrence of vitiligo.
