What are the specific symptoms of vitiligo

Symptom 1: inflammatory red papules, about the size of millet to mung bean, gradually expand or fuse into brownish red plaques with clear boundary, inflammatory red halo around, obvious basal infiltration, and multi-layer dry gray or silver white scales on the surface. Gently scrape off the surface scales, gradually exposing a layer of light red shiny translucent film, called film phenomenon.

Symptom 2: in the early stage of the disease, only the affected part has intermittent itching, especially at night, which often leads to insomnia. After scratching, the skin appears pale brown round or polygonal papules, with smooth surface or covered with sugar skin like scales, dense groups. With the development of the disease, the papules gradually melt into pieces, forming a heroic mossy transformation.

Symptom 3: gently scrape off the surface scales, then expose a layer of light red shiny translucent film, this is the prickle cell layer in the epidermis, called the film phenomenon. Then scrape off the film, that is, to reach the top of the dermal papillary layer, where the capillaries are scraped, there are small bleeding points, called punctate bleeding phenomenon.
