summary

Just learned that a friend had vitiligo disease, there are a lot of white spots on the face, there are a lot of hands, skin damage is particularly serious, can't eat a little pepper, otherwise the disease will aggravate, now let me talk about the causes of vitiligo.

What are the causes of vitiligo

First: endocrine and immune dysfunction: some pathogenic factors (chemical and heavy metal poisons) lead to immune dysfunction and endocrine imbalance, and produce anti melanocyte antibodies, resulting in damage and loss of melanocytes. The damaged melanocytes can release antigen again, stimulate the body to produce more anti melanocyte antibodies, so that more melanocytes are destroyed, thus forming a vicious circle, leading to the further development of the disease. Human immune response is a complex physiological and pathological process. In addition, long-term psychological pressure and trauma can also lead to imbalance of neurohumoral regulation and endocrine disorder. 　　

Second: trace element deficiency: trace elements are the active substances involved in the metabolism of the body, such as copper, zinc, selenium, iodine and so on. They are directly involved in the synthesis of melanin cells, and can protect melanin cells from heavy metal poisoning. Studies have shown that the lack of trace elements and imbalance can lead to the synthesis of melanin cells.

Third: neuropsychiatric factors: the pace of modern life makes some people's psychological burden too heavy. Businessmen are anxious when they encounter poor business; workers are worried about unemployment from time to time; office workers are over worried because of interpersonal relationship and promotion. Although some people are broad-minded and have strong psychological endurance, they will also fall into depression when they are hit by unexpected events. Long term psychological pressure and mental stress can lead to endocrine disorders and immune dysfunction. In addition, the long-term overload of work pressure, irregular night life and bad habits, so that the body is often in a state of excessive fatigue is one of the reasons.
