How to diagnose the symptoms of vitiligo

summary

Some time ago, because my friend had some white spots on his body, he had been checked. He said that he had vitiligo, but there was no other discomfort in his body. Now I will introduce how to diagnose the symptoms of vitiligo.

How to diagnose the symptoms of vitiligo

First: vitiligo all parts of the skin can be onset, skin lesions for local depigmentation spots, often milky white, can also be light pink, smooth surface, no rash. The white spot boundary is clear, the edge pigment increases compared with the normal skin, and the hair in the white spot is normal or white. Most of the lesions occurred in the sun and friction injury parts, such as the face, upper legs, neck, forearm extension side and hand back, waist, abdomen and sacrococcygeal, axillary and pudendal, elbow and knee joints, etc.

Second: leukoplakia is often arranged in strips according to the distribution of ganglion segments (or skin segments), which is unilateral. In addition to skin damage, labia, labia, glans and inner prepuce mucosa are often involved. Leukoplakia can be generalized to the whole body, but the melanocytes in retina, choroid and pia mater are not involved. The number of leukoplakia is uncertain, and it can rarely change or disappear by itself. However, in most cases, the leukoplakia gradually increases and expands, and the adjacent leukoplakia fuse into irregular large pieces, or even generalized to the whole body.

Third: the disease is mostly asymptomatic, a small number of patients before the onset or at the same time have local itching. Vitiligo is often accompanied by other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, adrenal insufficiency, pernicious anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, etc.

matters needing attention

Generally speaking, the disease of vitiligo will not produce some special effects on our body, but it has a great impact on the beauty. You want to grow a lot of white spots with different sizes. If there is no timely treatment, they will even attack repeatedly, making the disease more serious.
