How are the symptoms of vitiligo in the developing stage

summary

A while ago, the child's skin was abnormal. We were very worried, so we went to the hospital for examination. As a result, the doctor told us that this is most likely vitiligo. We also described the main symptoms of the disease. Next, I'd like to introduce how the symptoms of vitiligo develop.

How are the symptoms of vitiligo in the developing stage

First, there is no significant difference in gender, all age groups can have the disease, but teenagers are more likely to have the disease. The lesions are depigmented spots, usually milky white or light pink, with smooth surface and no rash. The white spot boundary is clear, the edge pigment increases compared with the normal skin, and the hair in the white spot is normal or white. Most of the lesions were distributed symmetrically. Leukoplakia is also often arranged in strips according to the distribution of ganglion segments. In addition to skin damage, labia, labia, glans and inner prepuce mucosa are often involved.

Second: the disease is mostly asymptomatic, a few patients before the onset or at the same time have local itching. Vitiligo is often accompanied by other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, adrenal insufficiency, scleroderma, atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata and so on. In the localized type, one or more leukoplakia were localized in one area, but did not show segmental distribution; in the unilateral type (segmental type), one or more leukoplakia showed segmental distribution and suddenly disappeared in the midline; in the mucosal type, only the mucosa was involved.

The third type is the scattered white spot with extensive and scattered distribution in the common type; the facial acrotype is distributed in the face and limbs; the mixed type is the mixed distribution of segmental type, facial acrotype and / or common type. In generalized cases, all or almost all of the pigment is lost. More than 90% of vitiligo is sporadic, and the rest of vitiligo is more localized than generalized. According to the depigmentation of the lesion, the disease can be divided into complete type and incomplete type.

matters needing attention

Knowing the main symptoms of vitiligo can help us make a more correct judgment when encountering this disease, and also help us not to panic. It is very important to treat vitiligo, so we need to treat it in time after discovering the disease.
