Is the symptom of vitiligo easy to distinguish

First: white spot shape. In the early stage of vitiligo, most of the white spots are from nails to coins, nearly round, oval or irregular, and some of them are dot like spots with obvious boundary at the onset. Some edges are surrounded by pigment bands. In the early stage, most of the patients with vitiligo have small area of white spots. In the early stage, a few patients develop rapidly into generalized vitiligo, and the area of white spots expands to the whole body. In a few cases, white spots mixed with follicular punctate pigment proliferation, the latter can increase, expand and fuse with each other to form an island, white spots in addition to depigmentation, the affected area did not atrophy or desquamation changes.

Second: the number of white spots. The number of leukoplakia is uncertain. Generally speaking, the number of leukoplakia in patients with localized vitiligo is small, which is mainly limited to a certain part of the body; the leukoplakia in patients with segmental vitiligo is distributed in a certain ganglion segment (or skin segment) of children with epilepsy. With the development of the disease, the number of leukoplakia will gradually increase, adjacent leukoplakia can also be integrated into an irregular large, pan hair body, such as map. When the patient's condition develops into generalized vitiligo, the number of leukoplakia proliferation is the most, so vitiligo treatment should be carried out as soon as possible.

Third: hair on the lesion. In the early stage of vitiligo, the symptoms of white hair rarely occur. If the disease is not controlled in time, the hair will become white or even fall off after a long time.
