What are the late symptoms of vitiligo

summary

I have a friend's husband who recently developed some white spots in some places. At the beginning, he didn't care about it. Later, he knew that there were more and more white spots and the color was getting darker and darker, so he went to the hospital for examination. As a result, he had advanced vitiligo. Let's learn about the late symptoms of vitiligo.

What are the late symptoms of vitiligo

First: white spots all over the body, white spots connected into a piece. Early vitiligo patients with white spots are often a single, small area of existence, and late vitiligo white spots gradually connected into a piece of, adjacent white spots together. Leukoplakia can spread all over the body, this symptom is mainly the late symptoms of generalized vitiligo. Leukoplakia area covers more than 50% of the total body area, distributed in many parts of the body, the treatment is difficult.

Second: the color of white spots is dark, usually cloud white or porcelain white. Vitiligo white spot color will gradually deepen with the development of the disease, initially light white or milky white, with more and more serious damage to melanocytes in the lesions, melanin synthesis is less and less, white spots will develop from light white or milky white to dark cloud white or porcelain white. Therefore, the color of leukoplakia can also be used as a standard for patients to judge the severity of their illness.

Third: the white spot color and the normal skin boundary is obvious. In the early stage of vitiligo, the color of white spots is lighter, and some even can not be distinguished by naked eyes, so the boundary between vitiligo and normal skin is not obvious. In the late stage of vitiligo, the pigment at the edge of the skin lesions will be significantly deepened, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding normal skin, and the white spots are very obvious.

matters needing attention

Vitiligo to late after the white spots grow over the body, and the color will be relatively deep, the condition is very serious, the difficulty of treatment will be very big, so in the discovery of long white spot symptoms must go to the hospital for examination and treatment, do not let the disease worsen.
