Causes of leukoplakia

summary

I used to suffer from leukoplakia. At the beginning, a few bean sized red spots grew on my arm. Later, they spread into a large white plaque. It was difficult to treat. I used many methods to treat it, and my condition finally improved. When I went to the hospital for treatment, the doctor also told me about the cause of leukoplakia.

Causes of leukoplakia

Reason 1: the depth of skin color, black and white are often affected by seasonal changes. Sun exposure in summer and sunbathing after swimming all cause skin color to deepen. Sunlight contains ultraviolet rays, which can stimulate the activity of enzymes, accelerate the transformation of tyrosine into DOPA and DOPA quinone, and promote the formation of melanin in the process of melanin metabolism.

Reason 2: the good and bad mood brings different results to the disease. Most people with leukoplakia are depressed, pessimistic, disappointed and worried. There are also some people who are afraid of the development of the disease, which will affect the beauty of their face and lead a life of weariness. Tension affects the formation of melanin, because tension stimulates the secretion of epinephrine, the synthesis of epinephrine, also need tyrosine. The loss of tyrosine will affect the synthesis of melanin.

Reason 3: diet is also the cause of leukoplakia. Relevant studies have confirmed that the lack of trace elements such as copper, zinc and iron in the human body can reduce the activity of tyrosinase and affect the metabolism of melanin.

matters needing attention

For patients with leukoplakia to receive treatment as soon as possible, in the diet should also pay special attention to avoid contact with spicy food, some trace elements in patients with leukoplakia deficiency, leading to melanin metabolism disorders. Therefore, leukoplakia patients should eat foods rich in tyrosine and minerals, such as meat, eggs, pig liver, peanuts, walnuts and black sesame.
