Causes of vitiligo

summary

My second grandfather has been suffering from vitiligo for more than 30 years, but due to the untimely discovery, the effect is not very good in the process of treatment. There are several white plaques on his hands. But my second grandfather wanted to know why he suffered from vitiligo. There was no genetic history in his family. Let me tell you about the causes of vitiligo.

Causes of vitiligo

First: 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. In clinical medicine, the cause of vitiligo, there is a genetic factor.

Second: 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. There are many reasons for vitiligo, patients in daily life, must not have too much psychological pressure.

Third: vitiligo patients 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. Vitiligo patients if their own immune ability is relatively low, it will also cause vitiligo, so patients in daily life, we must enhance the body's immune ability.
