What are the symptoms of vitiligo

summary

Since the arm was injured a few days ago, I have been feeling itchy skin, and there were some white spots every few days. After going to the hospital, I learned that I was suffering from vitiligo, and now I have been cooperating with the treatment. Let me talk about the symptoms of vitiligo today.

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.

Second, leukoplakia is 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. 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.

Third: focal type one or more leukoplakia are limited in one area, but not in segmental distribution; unilateral type (segmental type) one or more leukoplakia are in segmental distribution, suddenly disappeared in the midline; mucosal type only involves mucosa. Total or almost total depigmentation. More than 90% of vitiligo is sporadic, and the rest of vitiligo is more localized than generalized. The common type of leukoplakia is widespread and scattered;
