What are the late symptoms of vitiligo

summary

Some time ago, when I went to my colleague's home, I found some white spots on his children's arms, and the parents didn't care much about them. However, in line with health considerations, I went to the hospital for examination and learned that I was suffering from vitiligo. Today, let me talk about the late symptoms of vitiligo.

What are the late symptoms of vitiligo

First, the white becomes deep, specifically 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 the damage of melanocytes in the lesions more and more serious, less and less melanin synthesis, white spots will develop from light white or milky white to dark cloud white or porcelain white. Therefore, the color of white spots can also be used as a standard for patients to judge the severity of their disease .

Second: 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 the existence, and late vitiligo white spots gradually connected into a piece, adjacent white spots together. White spots can spread throughout the body, this symptom is mainly the late symptoms of generalized vitiligo. White spot area covers more than 50% of the total body area, distributed in multiple parts of the body, the treatment is more difficult.

Third: the main feature of late symptoms of vitiligo is that the white spots no longer spread around, but the boundaries and normal skin are clear. The color of leukoplakia is obviously different from that of normal skin. The initial stage of vitiligo due to the lighter color of white spots, and some even the naked eye can not distinguish, so the boundary with normal skin is not obvious. In the late stage of vitiligo, the pigmentation on the edge of the lesion will be significantly deepened, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding normal skin, and the white spot is very obvious.
