Can vitiligo not be treated

summary

A lot of white spots on a friend's face and hands, which are very different from the normal skin color, look particularly serious. I don't know what's going on. I went to the hospital for examination, and the result was vitiligo. I consulted about the treatment of vitiligo. Now let me tell you that it's OK not to treat vitiligo.

Can vitiligo not be treated

First, there are very few cases of vitiligo self-healing. The vast majority of patients with leukoplakia will gradually expand, increase or relatively stable. It is extremely rare for vitiligo to be cured without treatment. On the contrary, there are many cases that can not be cured for a long time. Moreover, if the etiology and symptomatic treatment can not be found, vitiligo is extremely easy to spread. Therefore, the hope of self-healing of vitiligo is very small. Once leukoplakia is found, it should be treated as soon as possible.

Second: the harm of vitiligo is specific: research shows that vitiligo patients are relatively weak in UV defense ability, so the incidence rate of skin cancer is higher than that of normal people. Vitiligo can cause a variety of diseases, such as cataract, malignant tumor, malignant anemia, alopecia areata, psoriasis, bronchial asthma and other diseases. And complicated with chronic active hepatitis, diabetes, hyperthyroidism and other diseases.

Third: vitiligo to the patient's family, study, employment, marriage, social and other serious impact. There are many people in the society have certain discrimination against patients with vitiligo, leading to a devastating blow to the self-esteem of the majority of patients, resulting in a series of mental disorders.

matters needing attention

Vitiligo is a relatively difficult to cure disease, and especially easy to relapse, so patients should pay attention to early detection of the disease, the right medicine, not blind medication and treatment, and can persist, so that the patient's disease can be effectively controlled and treated.
