summary

Cousin is an extremely slovenly person, not long ago found that his hand rose some white spots, the color is not very deep, the area is very small, the doctor said this is early vitiligo, let me talk about the early symptoms of vitiligo.

What are the initial symptoms of vitiligo

First, the color of early stage of leukoplakia. In the early stage of leukoplakia, there is a slightly raised inflammatory dark red on the edge of leukoplakia, which can last for several weeks. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize the early leukoplakia with fuzzy boundary and no hyperpigmentation.

Second: the shape and size of white spots. In the early stage of leukoplakia, the white spots were mostly nail to coin large, nearly round, oval or irregular shape. There were also spot like spots with obvious boundary at the onset, and some edges were surrounded by pigment bands. In a few cases, white spots are mixed with follicular punctate pigment, which increases in value, then increases, expands and fuses with each other to form an island shape. In addition to depigmentation, the affected area does not shrink or desquamate. The hair on white spots may lose pigment and even turn white completely, and some hair remains unchanged for a long time.

Third: the number of white spots. The number of leukoplakia is variable in the early stage of leukoplakia, which can be limited to a certain part of the body or distributed in a certain nerve stage, and few leukoplakia disappear spontaneously. Most cases tend to increase and expand gradually. The adjacent white spots can fuse with each other to form an irregular large area, and spread all over the body like a map. Sometimes, the normal skin remains in the white spots, and even is mistaken for pigmentation, such as occurring on the face, and is mistaken for chloasma.

matters needing attention

The initial stage of vitiligo patients is not very serious, and the symptoms are generally mild. At this time, the color of leukoplakia is very light, and it is often difficult for patients to find. In addition, although there are signs of diffusion of leukoplakia, the number is relatively small, and the volume is relatively small.
