How to diagnose vitiligo

summary

The appearance of vitiligo has brought a great impact on my normal life. There are some small white spots on my arm and body. In addition, the white spots will not disappear by themselves and will spread to other parts. Generally, this kind of situation is vitiligo. Next, I will tell you how to diagnose vitiligo in the early stage.

How to diagnose vitiligo

First: the number of leukoplakia is uncertain. Generally speaking, the number of leukoplakia in patients with localized vitiligo is small, mainly confined to a certain part of the body; the leukoplakia in patients with segmental vitiligo is distributed in a certain ganglion segment (or skin segment). With the development of the disease, the number of leukoplakia will gradually increase, and the adjacent leukoplakia can also fuse with each other to form an irregular large, generalized body, such as a map. When the patient's condition develops into generalized vitiligo, the number of leukoplakia proliferation is generally the most, but it is rare in the early stage of vitiligo.

Second: if you find suspected vitiligo on the body of white spots, should be timely to the regular vitiligo hospital for the diagnosis of vitiligo, so as not to delay the disease, to increase the difficulty of the treatment of vitiligo. In the early stage of vitiligo, leukoplakia may appear as dots, but it has its own characteristics, that is, the degree of decolorization of early leukoplakia is relatively light, and the boundary with the surrounding normal skin is very fuzzy, and the color of leukoplakia will gradually deepen and expand with time, and the boundary with the skin is more and more clear.

Third: most of the white spots of vitiligo are painless and itchy. It is suggested that patients go to a professional hospital with professional testing equipment and receive face-to-face diagnosis from experienced experts. Vitiligo is not contagious. Infection refers to a parasitic life of pathogens on others, and vitiligo is due to the loss of melanin, so it is not infectious. Vitiligo has a certain genetic probability, and the biggest feature is easy to develop. It is suggested that patients should be treated as soon as possible, so as not to delay the disease and miss the best treatment time.

matters needing attention

Patients with vitiligo at the beginning of the disease will not have too obvious symptoms, so it is easy to be ignored by patients. When the patient found that his arm or wrist and some parts of the body appeared some small white spots, and is a small piece, this situation is likely to be vitiligo, should go to the hospital dermatology diagnosis.
