What are the symptoms of vitiligo

summary

Recently, a good friend of mine always wrapped herself up when she went out. Later, I learned that she had a disease called vitiligo. She had white spots on her body. She was a beautiful girl, so she had to go out like this. Let's learn the symptoms of vitiligo.

What are the symptoms of vitiligo

Symptom 1: white spots are usually large nails or coins, nearly round, oval or irregular shape, and sometimes dot like spots with obvious boundary. Some of them are surrounded by pigment bands. In the late stage, the white spots increased, expanded and fused into islands. In addition to depigmentation, there was no atrophy or desquamation in the affected area.

Symptom 2: the hair on leukoplakia may lose its pigment and even turn white, and some hair may remain unchanged for a long time. The number of leukoplakia is variable, which can be limited to a certain part of the body or distributed in a certain ganglion segment (or skin ganglion). Few leukoplakia disappear spontaneously. Often gradually increased expansion, adjacent leukoplakia can be integrated with each other, even into irregular large, pan hair body.

Symptom 3: skin lesions for depigmentation spots, often milky white, can also be light pink, smooth surface, 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.

matters needing attention

Vitiligo is a stubborn skin disease, but it is not uncontrollable, as long as in the premise of avoiding contact with environmental factors, early reasonable treatment, and actively cooperate with the doctor for correct treatment, can achieve good therapeutic effect.
