Can vitiligo infect others

summary

Two months ago, two white spots appeared on my cousin's arm. At that time, the family didn't pay attention to them. But now there are more and more white spots. It turned out that I was suffering from vitiligo. I want to tell you whether vitiligo can be transmitted to others!

Can vitiligo infect others

First: because vitiligo is a kind of white spot phenomenon in the exposed parts, the pathogenesis of vitiligo is the decolorization change of skin caused by the metabolic disorder of local melanin, and there is no virus and bacteria in vitiligo. And the onset of infectious diseases must be through the source of infection. After the pathogen invades the human body, it will live, replicate and reproduce in the human body, leading to the illness of patients. Other hosts are infected with this disease because of contact with patients, and vitiligo does not have this pathogen, so vitiligo will not be infected, and the wound will not be infected with vitiligo patients.

Second: wound contact with patients with vitiligo will not occur after infection, but if patients with vitiligo trauma is not treated in time, it is easy to lead to the aggravation of vitiligo. Patients should know that the impact of trauma on patients with vitiligo is great, especially for the development of vitiligo patients.

Third: according to clinical data, trauma is one of the common causes of vitiligo aggravation. When patients with vitiligo after trauma, timely treatment is very critical. Some patients with vitiligo will not care about some small trauma, no timely treatment, and eventually lead to aggravation of the disease, such an example is not uncommon in clinic. So in daily life, patients must pay attention to the details of success or failure.

matters needing attention

Although vitiligo is not infectious, it is very likely that vitiligo will be passed on to the next generation through gene. According to a large number of clinical experience investigation of authoritative vitiligo medical institutions, the heritability of vitiligo is about 2% ~ 20%. However, patients with vitiligo should not panic too much because of this. If patients can get systematic and professional treatment in time, the heritability of vitiligo can be minimized. Many people have a history of vitiligo in their families, so they are also sick. Although heredity is possible, it is not absolute. First of all, cure your own vitiligo.
