What symptom does leukoplakia have

summary

Leukoplakia is called baidianfeng in traditional Chinese medicine, commonly known as skin leukoplakia. Leukoplakia is due to the destruction of some heavy melanin cells in the human skin, resulting in some irregular white plaques on the skin. Generally, there are milky white plaques on both sides of the body. Common parts include face, lips, hands, legs and so on, which may occur all over the body. This is a common acquired localized or generalized depigmentation of the skin, which is caused by the loss of melanocyte function in the skin, but the mechanism is still unclear. Next, let's talk about the symptoms of leukoplakia.

What symptom does leukoplakia have

Symptom 1: leukoplakia may be a phenomenon in the human body due to the degeneration and death of melanocytes. The main reasons are as follows: first, the peripheral nerves of the body's nervous system may be abnormal, thus releasing toxic substances to destroy melanocytes; second, due to the problems of the patient's own immune system, it produces anti autologous melanin Third, in the process of producing pigment, melanocytes produce toxic substances, which leads to self destruction. Fourth, due to congenital genetic defects, melanocytes are vulnerable to damage, as well as some other unknown factors.

Symptom 2: the clinical manifestations of leukoplakia are: leukoplakia in adolescents prone, lesions prone, due to sunlight and friction damage parts, lesions are more symmetrical distribution.. Leukoplakia lesions for depigmentation spots, often milky white, can also be light pink, smooth surface, no rash. Clear day shift, normal or white hair. Patients with severe leukoplakia may have leukoplakia all over the body.

Symptom 3: when there is local pruritus and white spots, we must go to the hospital in time to check whether it is leukoplakia. If it is leukoplakia, we should treat it as soon as possible, and choose appropriate treatment methods to control it as soon as possible. At the same time, people should also do a good job to prevent the formation of leukoplakia, such as: reduce the intake of contaminated food, develop scientific and reasonable diet; reduce the inhalation of harmful gases; pay attention to labor protection; pay attention to the pollution caused by house decoration.

matters needing attention

Leukoplakia is mostly asymptomatic, and a few patients will have local itching before or at the same time. Patients must pay attention, because leukoplakia is often accompanied by other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disease and so on. In the progressive stage of leukoplakia, patients should not be over exposed to the sun, or use irritant drugs, so as to avoid homomorphic reaction.
