What kind of symptoms does vitiligo have

First, all parts of the skin can be affected. The lesions are local depigmented spots, usually milky white, or light pink. The surface is smooth without rash. The boundary of white spots is clear. The edge pigment is increased compared with normal skin. The hair in white spots is normal or white. The lesions are mainly located in the parts affected by sunlight and friction, such as the face, upper legs, neck, forearm extension, hand back and waist Abdominal and sacrococcygeal, axillary and pudendal, elbow and knee joint were the most common sites, and the lesions were distributed symmetrically.

Second: leukoplakia is often arranged in strips according to the distribution of ganglion segments (or skin segments). This kind of disease is unilateral. In addition to skin damage, the mucous membranes of the lips, labia, glans and inner prepuce are often affected. Leukoplakia can spread throughout the body, but the melanocytes in the retina, choroid and pia are not affected. Sometimes, after exposure to the sun, there can be pigment regeneration in the leukoplakia area.

Third: in winter, there is depigmentation in the center or edge of leukoplakia, and about 20% of the patients' leukoplakia are highly sensitive to ultraviolet rays. The rapid development of leukoplakia after sun exposure, mechanical stimulation, such as acupuncture, scratching, skin pressure (tights, hernia support, etc.) and other local stimulation, such as burn, infection, sunburn, frostbite, radiation, can cause leukoplakia on the normal skin of the patients, or cause skin irritation The original leukoplakia enlargement, or even generalized systemic homomorphic reaction, the number of leukoplakia is uncertain, can rarely change or self subside, but most cases show that leukoplakia gradually increase, expand, adjacent leukoplakia fusion for irregular large, or even generalized systemic.
