What are the symptoms of vitiligo

summary

Some time ago, I went out to play with my friends. As a result, I found some white spots on my arm on the way. My friends said it was vitiligo, so they urged me to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. As a result, after the examination, I really changed vitiligo. Today, let me talk about the symptoms of vitiligo.

What are the symptoms of vitiligo

First: skin lesions for 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 were distributed symmetrically. Leukoplakia is also often arranged in strips according to the distribution of ganglion segments. In addition to skin damage, labia, labia, glans and inner prepuce mucosa are often involved.

Second: the disease is mostly asymptomatic, a few patients before the onset or at the same time have local itching. Vitiligo is often accompanied by other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, adrenal insufficiency, scleroderma, atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata and so on. One or more focal leukoplakia were localized in one region, but did not show segmental distribution; one or more unilateral leukoplakia showed segmental distribution and suddenly disappeared in the midline;

Third: in general, the external symptoms of vitiligo are as follows: the affected area is white, more obvious with the normal skin color, does not protrude from the skin, pore occlusion, the affected skin is smooth, no scales, no pain and itching, mostly symmetrical distribution, individual patients with hair whitening, no obvious symptoms before the onset. In order to have a good therapeutic effect of vitiligo, we must strive for early treatment and go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible.
