What are the symptoms of vitiligo
summary
At the end of last year, I found that I had vitiligo. It's almost a whole year now, and I haven't been cured. Moreover, the white spots on my body haven't faded at all, which makes me lose confidence. Let's talk about the symptoms of vitiligo.
What are the symptoms of vitiligo
Symptom 1: vitiligo is depigmented white spots or patches. It's surrounded by normal skin. The size of decolorized spots varies from several millimeters to several centimeters. In the advanced stage, the lesions can gradually expand and new decolorized spots appear. In patients with lighter skin color, white spots may not be obvious, but people with dark skin color, color contrast is very bright.
Symptom 2: there is a very obvious boundary between the vitiligo site and the surrounding skin. Vitiligo can affect any part of the body, usually bilaterally symmetrical distribution. The probability of hair whitening is 10% - 60%. The incidence rate of vitiligo is very high. In China, 1 to 2 of the 100 people in China are exposed to the disease. Half of them suffer from skin lesions before they are 20 years old, and about 1/5 of them have family history.
Symptom 3: in the early stage of vitiligo, white spots are mostly light white, and gradually develop into cloud white, pure white and porcelain white. In the early stage of vitiligo, there is a slightly raised inflammatory dark red on the edge of some new leukoplakia, which can last for several weeks. For the early leukoplakia with fuzzy boundary and no pigmentation.
matters needing attention
In the early stage of vitiligo, melanin has not completely disappeared. At this time, as long as we find the cause of vitiligo and apply the right medicine to the case, vitiligo can be completely cured. Don't treat it blindly. It not only can't have a good effect, but also may aggravate the disease and miss the best period for the treatment of vitiligo.
