The cause of leukoplakia

summary

Leukoplakia is a common skin disease in our daily life, but the treatment of leukoplakia is very difficult. My cousin suffered from leukoplakia, and she had a lot of white plaques on her body. When she went to the hospital for treatment, she also consulted the medical students about the causes of leukoplakia on her body.

The cause of leukoplakia

Reason 1: the depth of skin color, black and white are often affected by seasonal changes. Sun exposure in summer and sunbathing after swimming all cause skin color to deepen. Sunlight contains ultraviolet rays, which can stimulate the activity of enzymes, accelerate the transformation of tyrosine into DOPA and DOPA quinone, and promote the formation of melanin in the process of melanin metabolism.

Reason 2: the good and bad mood brings different results to the disease. Most people with leukoplakia are depressed, pessimistic, disappointed and worried. There are also some people who are afraid of the development of the disease, which will affect the beauty of their face and lead a life of weariness. Tension affects the formation of melanin, because tension stimulates the secretion of epinephrine, the synthesis of epinephrine, also need tyrosine. The loss of tyrosine will affect the synthesis of melanin.

Reason 3: diet is also the cause of leukoplakia. Relevant studies have confirmed that the lack of trace elements such as copper, zinc and iron in the human body can reduce the activity of tyrosinase and affect the metabolism of melanin.

matters needing attention

Patients with leukoplakia should eat less food containing too much vitamin. The deficiency of some trace elements in patients with leukoplakia leads to the disorder of melanin metabolism. Therefore, patients with leukoplakia should eat foods rich in tyrosine and minerals, such as meat, eggs, pig liver, peanuts, walnuts and black sesame.
