summary

Some time ago, my colleague just gave birth to a baby. As we all have a good relationship, we often go to the hospital to visit her. Once we found that a child next to her bed said that she was suffering from vitiligo and had been receiving treatment. Today, let me talk about the typical symptoms of childhood vitiligo.

What are the typical symptoms of vitiligo in children

First: children with vitiligo prone to head and neck, the order is head and neck, lower limbs, trunk and perineum. It may be related to the increased opportunities of external activities and the lack of self-protection consciousness, which leads to the increase of trauma. The incidence of autoimmune diseases related to vitiligo in children was significantly lower than that in adults, but the positive rate of autoantibodies was not significantly different from that in adults.

Second: the children's fingers (toes), wrists, lips, face and vulva and other parts of the obvious depigmentation spots. There are several bunches of grey hair on the scalp. At the same time, it should be differentiated from depigmented nevus, tuberous sclerosis, anemia nevus and pityriasis albopictus. Tuberous sclerosis is an autosomal dominant hereditary disease. Although the skin may appear polygonal, leaf like and shredded white spots.

Third: vitiligo is called "vitiligo" or "baibofeng" in traditional Chinese medicine. Vitiligo is a depigmentation disease of skin, mucous membrane and hair caused by the obvious reduction or loss of melanocytes. It begins to appear that the local skin without conscious symptoms turns white and gradually expands. The white spot is light white or milky white, with the same shape and size, clear boundary, smooth surface and no dandruff. The pathogenesis of vitiligo is complex.
