Vitiligo, a common acquired disease of limited or generalized skin pigmentation loss. It is caused by loss of melanocyte function in the skin, but the mechanism is not clear. It can occur on all parts of the body, commonly on the back of the fingers, wrists, forearms, face, neck, and around the genitalia. It can also occur on the female vulva, mostly in young women.
The most important thing is that it is not easy to diagnose but difficult to treat. The actual formation of vitiligo?
The reason for the formation of vitiligo Vitiligo is mainly caused by the loss of skin melanocyte function, its mechanism is still unclear, the medical community currently has the following views: 1, genetic theory: vitiligo can appear in twins and families, indicating that genetics has an important role in the development of vitiligo. The study believes that vitiligo has an incomplete epiphenomenal rate and there are multiple pathogenic loci on the gene.
2, autoimmune theory: vitiligo can be combined with autoimmune disease, such as thyroid disease, diabetes, chronic hyperalgesia, pernicious anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, malignant melanoma, etc.. The serum can also detect many organ-specific antibodies, such as anti-thyroid antibodies, anti-gastric wall cell antibodies, anti-adrenal antibodies, anti-parathyroid antibodies, anti-smooth muscle antibodies, anti-melanocyte antibodies, etc.
3, mental and neurochemical theory: mental factors are closely related to the onset of vitiligo, most patients have mental trauma, excessive tension, depression or frustration in the stage of initiation or lesion development. The nerve endings at the white spots have degenerative changes, also support the neurochemical theory.
4, melanocyte self-destruction theory: vitiligo patients can produce antibodies and T lymphocytes in the body, indicating that the immune response may lead to the destruction of melanocytes. The toxic melanin predecessors synthesized by the cells themselves and certain chemicals that cause skin depigmentation may also have a selective destructive effect on melanocytes.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
How to treat vitiligo?
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on this kind of things. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
2.Stop the progress of the disease so that it will not continue to expand.
3, make the pigmented area around the lesion lighter, the edge blurred not easy to distinguish, in order to achieve some kind of cosmetic purpose.
The actual fact is that there are many factors that cause vitiligo disease, according to the different causes of the implementation of different treatment methods, vitiligo disease types are also many, because of different types, different pathogenic factors, different nature and use of different treatment methods.
The treatment of vitiligo must first be diagnosed and then develop a treatment plan before proceeding. Different conditions, treatment is also different, first of all, it is recommended that patients do not blindly treatment, so as not to aggravate the disease. No matter what disease is treated, it is necessary to first find the missing causative factors and target the treatment. If the patient does not find a regular specialist hospital to carry out a systematic detection of the cause of the disease, then blindly with drug treatment, not only can not cure the disease, but also produce resistance, over time will become dependent on drugs, and eventually lead to delayed.
