What are the initial symptoms of vitiligo

First: halo nevus leukoplakia. Halo nevus, also known as centrifugal acquired leukoplakia, also refers to the localized hypopigmentation around the nevus. Later, the nevus itself can fade and the skin lesions continue to develop. Most scholars believe that halo nevus is a type of vitiligo, which should be paid enough attention to.

Second, the degree of decolorization of white spot is light in early stage. The demarcation line with the surrounding normal skin is blurred. If it occurs in people with white complexion, it is easy to be ignored, but its "special" points should be observed in detail: generally, there is no itching, even if there is, it is very slight; the number of discoloration spots is small, generally 1-2 pieces, and most of them appear on the exposed skin; Except for depigmentation, the skin at the decolorization spot is the same as the surrounding skin, without inflammation, desquamation or atrophy; in the absence of other skin diseases, early vitiligo should be considered first.

Third, the characteristics of skin lesions. The color of the lesions turned white. The typical white spots were round, oval or irregular in shape, which could be expanded or fused into large irregular patches with different shapes. The pigmented bands around the white spots and island like pigmented spots in the center of the white spots. The other typical white spots were banded or cord like discolored spots distributed along the nerves, and the edges of the white spots were as neat as a knife.
