What are the causes of vitiligo

summary

When I was on the street with my brother yesterday, I suddenly found some white spots on his neck. I asked my brother what happened, my brother did not know, then I accompanied my brother to the hospital, the doctor said it was vitiligo. In clinical medicine, there are many reasons for vitiligo, although my brother's condition is under control, but he still wants to understand the reason, after we consulted the doctor. Now I will tell you about the causes of vitiligo.

What are the causes of vitiligo

Etiology 1: vitiligo can be combined with autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid disease, diabetes, chronic adrenal insufficiency, pernicious anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, malignant melanoma, etc. The specific antibodies of various organs can also be detected in serum, such as anti thyroid antibody, anti gastric parietal cell antibody, anti adrenal antibody, anti parathyroid antibody, anti smooth muscle antibody, anti melanocyte antibody, etc. If the immune ability is reduced, it will cause some other diseases and vitiligo.

Etiology 2: mental factors are closely related to the onset of vitiligo. Most patients have mental trauma, excessive tension, depression or depression at the onset or skin lesion development stage. The degeneration of nerve endings in leukoplakia also supports the neurochemical theory. In clinical medicine, if the family has a genetic history, the family genetic probability is relatively large.

Etiology 3: the body of patients with vitiligo can produce antibodies and T lymphocytes, indicating that the immune response may lead to the destruction of melanocytes. The precursor of toxic melanin synthesized by cells themselves and some chemical substances that cause skin discoloration may also selectively destroy melanocytes. There are many causes of vitiligo, if you eat too much to be sucked, or melanin is destroyed, leading to the onset of vitiligo.

matters needing attention

Adhere to the treatment, most of the treatments are effective after half a month, individual patients recover very slowly after effective, if halfway, the treatment will be wasted, so for the treatment of vitiligo, it is important to adhere to, and consolidate the treatment after recovery for a period of time to help prevent recurrence. Vitiligo patients in daily life must pay attention to sunscreen, try to eat some fresh vegetables, must not eat food containing vitamin C ingredients. Today, I often take a bath every day, and my clothes must be changed every day.
