What are the characteristics of vitiligo in children

Symptom 1: children with vitiligo, the symptoms are many, in the early stage of vitiligo, the number of white spots is limited, at the same time, the area of white spots in the early stage of the disease did not spread, mainly concentrated in a certain part of the body, will generally focus on the ganglion segment of the human body. With the deterioration of the disease, the number of leukoplakia will gradually increase, and the nearby leukoplakia will begin to merge, and then connect into a large area of leukoplakia. At this time, vitiligo will turn into generalized vitiligo, which has entered a relatively difficult stage of treatment.

Symptom 2: Although vitiligo will directly affect the color of the hair in the white spot area, making the hair around the white spot turn white, in the early stage of vitiligo, only a few patients with rapid development of the disease will appear this situation. In general, the appearance of leukoplakia will directly affect the normal secretion of melanin in the skin, and the color of the pigment band around the leukoplakia will become darker. Therefore, in the early stage of disease, the area of leukoplakia is smaller and the color is lighter, and there is an obvious dividing line between leukoplakia.

Symptom 3: the disease continues to deteriorate, the color change of white spots will go through the four processes of light white, cloud white, pure white and porcelain white. In the early stage of the disease, white spots mainly appear as light white, if the skin is relatively white, it is difficult for patients to find the changes of their body skin in general. But in the early stage of vitiligo, leukoplakia has an obvious feature, that is, the skin around the leukoplakia will slightly uplift, and a circle of dark red will appear at the edge of the leukoplakia.
