What reason is lip leukoplakia?

summary

Mucosal leukoplakia is a white patch on the mucosa, but as a disease, it mainly refers to those with hyperkeratosis and epithelial hyperplasia as the characteristics of mucosal leukoplakia. For example, vitiligo can also occur on the mucosa, but its histological changes are mainly depigmentation, generally without hyperkeratosis and other manifestations, so it does not belong to mucosal leukoplakia. What reason is lip leukoplakia? Let's talk about it

What reason is lip leukoplakia?

Genetic factors: experts have proposed that vitiligo has a certain heritability, which is caused by a long chromosome dominant genetic abnormality. In addition, simple genetic factors do not necessarily lead to vitiligo, vitiligo in the genetic background, the combination of internal and external factors, the interaction of various factors will lead to the discovery of vitiligo.

Trauma factors: improper wound treatment after trauma, changes in the structure and function of skin nerve, resulting in increased neurotransmitters, increased consumption of tyrosinase, decreased synthesis of melanin, easy to induce vitiligo. All kinds of trauma in daily life lead to isomorphic reaction, which leads to the emergence of vitiligo, especially in the early stage of the disease in children is prone to isomorphic reaction.

Trace element deficiency factors: trace elements such as copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, etc. Studies have shown that the lack of trace elements and imbalance can lead to the synthesis of melanin cells, and then reduce melanin and induce vitiligo.

matters needing attention

We must have some knowledge and understanding of our skin diseases and some pathological changes of the body, and actively take treatment methods, so as not to aggravate the disease. We should follow the rule of "early diagnosis and early treatment" and go to a professional vitiligo hospital to diagnose what causes leukoplakia, and then treat it symptomatically.
