summary

My roommate has vitiligo, there are a lot of white patches on the skin, it looks very scary, it will inevitably affect the communication between us, and I am worried about whether it will be infectious, I consulted the online doctor, the doctor introduced vitiligo to me in detail, now let's understand the initial symptoms of vitiligo.

What are the initial symptoms of vitiligo

First: the number of white spots. In the early stage of vitiligo, the number of leukoplakia is limited, and the area of leukoplakia in the early stage of vitiligo does not spread, mainly concentrated in a certain part of the body, generally concentrated in 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.

Second: hair on the lesion. 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, so the area of leukoplakia is smaller and the color is lighter in the early stage of disease.

Third: the color of white spots. With the continuous deterioration of the disease, the color change of leukoplakia 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.
