There is a piece of skin behind my neck that turns white. At the beginning, it was not big, and I didn't care. Later, as time goes on, the area of leukoplakia becomes larger and larger. I went to see a doctor. The doctor said it was vitiligo. I know this disease is not easy to cure, so how did vitiligo cause it? Let me talk about the cause of vitiligo.

How is vitiligo caused

First, mental factors can cause the onset of vitiligo. Skin is one of the expression organs of human inner spiritual activities. A large number of studies have shown that mental factors are an important inducement of vitiligo. Studies have shown that about 2 / 3 of vitiligo patients have mental trauma, overwork, anxiety, depression, even restlessness, sleeplessness and other mental stress at the onset or skin lesion development stage. The causes of mental stress include accidents such as car accidents and falling into the air, emergencies caused by natural disasters, economic events, family disputes, lovelorn, unemployment, death of relatives, entrance examination, etc

Second, drinking or eating seafood lead to the occurrence or aggravation of vitiligo. Often in excessive drinking or eating seafood about a week. Some patients complained that their leukoplakia expanded after drinking or eating seafood every time, and some patients reported that they were only limited to pruritus of leukoplakia after drinking. Some people who work in the catering service industry or can't quit drinking, the expansion of leukoplakia is often difficult to control, so we should pay attention to our eating habits in life and pay more attention to the symptoms of leukoplakia once they appear.

Third, vitamin C is a reducing agent, involved in tyrosine metabolism, inhibit the oxidation of dopa, so as to reduce the formation of melanin, induce or aggravate vitiligo. Vitamin C is widely found in fruits, vegetables and leaves of some plants. Fruits rich in vitamin C include melon, grape, grapefruit, papaya, kiwi fruit, strawberry, orange, watermelon, etc. Fruit juices rich in vitamin C include grape juice and oranges. Some fruit juices are fortified with vitamin C, including apple juice, sour juice and grape juice. Vegetables rich in vitamin C include asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, mustard, pepper (whether red or green), potato, tomato or tomato juice. Generally speaking, the vitamin content in sour fruits or vegetables is generally high.
