What are the symptoms of vitiligo

summary

Some time ago, I went to my elder brother's house to visit my little nephew. I found that the little nephew suddenly had white spots on his hands. I asked him what was the matter, but he didn't understand. So I took my nephew to the hospital for examination. The doctor said it was vitiligo. Now let me talk about the clinical manifestations of vitiligo.

What are the symptoms of vitiligo

First, the damage is local depigmentation, milky white, with different shapes and sizes, clear boundaries, white or normal hair, but no skin atrophy, sclerosis and desquamation. The progression of leukoplakia to normal skin, the boundary is not clear. Mechanical stimulation such as pressure and friction, local stimulation such as sun exposure and skin external measurement can make leukoplakia appear or expand.

Second: Although vitiligo will spread, and even take up most of the body, but it will not be systemic, systemic white is another disease, long course of disease or after treatment of vitiligo, white spots will appear in the red, black small, these represent pigment can regenerate. Rub and pat the white spots and the surrounding normal skin with your hands. When the surrounding skin turns white, observe whether the white spots and normal skin turn red is more obvious. If the white spots are more obvious, it is not vitiligo, it is likely to be anemia nevus.

Third: leukoplakia can occur in any part of the face, neck, back of hand and other exposed parts and external genitalia wrinkles. It can be isolated or symmetrically distributed. It can be distributed along the ganglion or banded. A few of them can spread all over the body, with only a few normal skin. The course of disease is chronic and can last for life. There was no conscious symptom.

matters needing attention

In fact, we should not think how terrible vitiligo, or how obvious the disease is. In general, early vitiligo is not only easier to treat, but also patients will not have any pain. The clinical manifestation of vitiligo is not obvious at the beginning, many people will ignore it, and it is obvious later.
