What should vitiligo patients pay attention to
summary
I went to my brother's house to see my little nephew. My little nephew is still as enthusiastic as before, very happy to run to meet me. But I found white spots on the little guy's arm. I told my elder brother and took him to the hospital. The doctor said it was vitiligo. Today, I'd like to talk about what vitiligo patients need to pay attention to.
What should vitiligo patients pay attention to
First of all: patients must pay attention to increase the intake of tyrosinase rich food. The formation of melanin is that tyrosine forms DOPA quinone under the action of tyrosinase, and then oxidizes to melanin. Tyrosine mainly comes from food, while tyrosinase needs trace elements such as copper and zinc to participate in its activity, so we should eat foods rich in tyrosine, copper and zinc, such as animal liver, lean meat, eggs, beans and fresh vegetables.
Secondly: the symptoms of early vitiligo can be limited to a certain part of the body or distributed in a certain ganglion segment, few patients with vitiligo white spots disappear by themselves. The majority of vitiligo tends to gradually increase and expand, and the adjacent white spots of vitiligo can fuse with each other to form an irregular large area, which spreads all over the body, such as the map; the symptoms of early vitiligo sometimes remain in the white spots of normal skin, so that they are mistakenly regarded as pigmentation, such as occurring on the face, often mistakenly as chloasma.
Finally: there are many cases of vitiligo, so first of all, we need to go to the hospital for examination, and then receive treatment according to our own condition. Generally speaking, the more common is laser treatment, which can remove the excess white plaques on our skin.
matters needing attention
People with vitiligo should pay attention to sun protection when they go out in life, and keep a positive attitude. Vitiligo is not contagious, so just rest assured. Don't think you are different. Learn to live an optimistic life.
