What are the causes of skin leukoplakia

summary

Skin is our most direct exposed part. I suffered from leukoplakia a a while ago, which made me very distressed. But how to form the cause of this disease, I am also very puzzled, so I asked the relevant doctors. Now I will introduce the causes of skin leukoplakia.

What are the causes of skin leukoplakia

First, the theory of heredity. Some studies suggest that vitiligo may be an autosomal dominant skin disease. According to the statistics of foreign authors, 30% of the patients had a positive family history, and it was found that both monozygotic twins had the disease. The positive family history reported in China is 3% - 12%, which is lower than that reported abroad.

Second: autoimmune theory. More and more attention has been paid to the relationship between autoimmune theory and the pathogenesis of vitiligo. Many scholars have noticed that patients and their family members have a high rate of autoimmune diseases, such as thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, diabetes, chronic adrenal insufficiency, pernicious anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, malignant melanoma and so on.

Third: the theory of spirit and neurochemistry. Many clinicians have found that mental factors are closely related to the onset of vitiligo. It is estimated that about 2 / 3 of the patients have mental trauma, excessive tension, depression or depression at the onset or skin lesion development stage. Stress can increase catecholamines, such as adrenaline can directly affect decolorization; stress can also increase ACTH secretion, leading to increased cortical hormone secretion, and mobilize sugar and free fatty acids to stimulate insulin secretion.

matters needing attention

Because the skin is not a closed barrier, it is all pervasive, so many diseases will show through the skin, once suffering from leukoplakia, it needs to receive relevant treatment immediately, so as to promote our recovery.
