At present, the main purpose of coming to the hospital for vitiligo treatment is to let the doctor how to control the progression of the lesions and promote the re-coloration of the white spots.
The choice of treatment measures is mainly based on the following comprehensive considerations, including the stage of disease, area, type, location, age, duration of disease, etc.
1. Stage of disease. First of all, the doctor needs to know the length of your disease, if there are new white spots and the original white spots continue to expand, it means that it is the progressive stage, you need to tell the doctor whether there are new white spots and white spot expansion within the last 1.5 months, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. This means that the disease is not stable and is gradually developing. If not, it is the stable stage.
2, the size and area of the white spot is also important, a simple way is to take the palm area as 1% of the body surface area roughly estimated, you can know the size of the white spot area. It is often divided into mild, <1%; moderate, 1% to 5%; moderate to severe, 6% to 50%; and severe, >50%. Generally, light and moderate are common.
3, the site of the onset of the white spot has a lot to do with the good or bad treatment, usually the face has the best effect of recoloration, easy to appear pigmentation and complete restoration of normal, while the mouth and lips, hands and feet parts of the recoloration effect is the worst, so the hands and feet parts of the white spot recovery is very slow, it is difficult to fully recover.
4, the length of the white spot disease is also very relevant, the lesion time is short, early to hospital treatment, the treatment effect is good, the disease is long, no control of the disease, the treatment effect is relatively poor.
In conclusion. The treatment of vitiligo should be early treatment, long-term persistence, each course of treatment at least lasted for more than 3 months before you may get satisfactory results.
