Is vitiligo contagious

summary

When I first suffered from vitiligo, I also worked very hard to treat it, but due to the lack of comprehensive understanding of this disease, improper treatment has a lot of impact on our lives. Let's see if vitiligo is contagious.

Is vitiligo contagious

First of all: vitiligo does not have the three basic characteristics of genetic diseases, and can not be transmitted to others. Genetic inheritance is only a cause of disease, and the genetic probability is very low. If you worry about passing it on to your children, patients need to actively treat vitiligo.

Second: if the spirit is too anxious, the body will secrete a lot of adrenaline, will consume a lot of tyrosine, tyrosine is one of the substances that produce melanin, if this kind of thing is lack, it is easy to induce vitiligo.

Finally: bad eating habits, the body's lack of tyrosine, tyrosinase, copper, zinc, iron and other substances will affect the synthesis of melanin.

matters needing attention

Due to the lack of some trace metal elements in the blood and leukoplakia of vitiligo patients, the activity of tyrosinase in the body is reduced, which affects the synthesis and metabolism of melanin. Therefore, patients can eat more foods rich in tyrosine and minerals, which is conducive to improving the condition of vitiligo.
