Common causes of vitiligo

summary

One of my physics students, when doing the experiment, found that she had a lot of white dots, all of which were the kind of white dots, just like the stars. She was diagnosed with vitiligo, and now she is well after treatment. I sorted out the common causes of vitiligo for your reference.

Common causes of vitiligo

First: vitiligo is a common acquired localized or generalized skin depigmentation disease. However, the mechanism is still unclear. It can occur in all parts of the body, common in finger back, wrist, forearm, face, neck and around genitalia. The decrease of copper or ceruloplasmin levels in the blood and skin of patients with vitiligo leads to the decrease of tyrosinase activity, which affects the metabolism of melanin.

Second: female vulva can also occur, young women in the majority. Vitiligo can appear in twins and families, indicating that heredity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. Studies have shown that vitiligo has incomplete penetrance and multiple pathogenic loci. Vitiligo can be combined with autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid disease, diabetes, chronic adrenal insufficiency, pernicious anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, malignant melanoma and so on.

Third: 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. Antibodies and T lymphocytes can be produced in patients with vitiligo, indicating that the immune response may lead to the destruction of melanocytes.

matters needing attention

Warm tips: most patients with vitiligo have received a variety of methods of treatment, and the effect of leukoplakia polychromatism is not ideal, easy to produce the idea of looking for "panacea", credulous "guarantee" and "radical" propaganda of vitiligo, and accept irregular treatment and abuse of various drugs, so that physical and mental health is damaged. Patients with vitiligo should pay attention to the adjustment of their own mentality, correctly treat the treatment status of vitiligo, believe in the progress of medicine and the development of science, and choose a correct way for themselves to seek medical treatment to avoid iatrogenic injury.
