What are the symptoms of vitiligo

summary

Some time ago, when I was shopping, I ran into a young man I haven't seen for a long time. I found some white spot like things on his arm. After I asked him, I knew it was caused by vitiligo. I have been receiving treatment and have been under control. Today, let me talk about vitiligo.

What are the symptoms of vitiligo

First, there is no significant difference in gender, all age groups can have the disease, but teenagers are more likely to have the disease. The lesions are depigmented spots, usually milky white or light pink, with smooth surface and 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.

Second: in addition to skin damage, labia, labia, glans and inner prepuce mucosa are often involved. Most of the patients had no symptoms, and a few patients had local itching before or at the same time. 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 limited in one region, but not in segmental distribution;

Third: unilateral type (segmental type) one or more white spots were segmental distribution, suddenly disappeared in the midline; all or almost all depigmentation. More than 90% of vitiligo is sporadic, and the rest of vitiligo is more localized than generalized. The common type is extensive and scattered white spot; the facial acrotype is distributed in the face and limbs; the mixed type is segmental type, facial acrotype and / or common type.
