The most easily recovered vitiligo is face, scalp, trunk area, while if long in the hands and feet, around the eyes, mouth and lips parts, recovery will be more difficult, patients need more patience.
“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. Patients can directly observe the effect of vitiligo treatment: disease progression, the white spot will gradually expand, the border is blurred; if you see the white area no longer expand, the border is clear, then it means the disease into the stable stage.
If the white spot is small during the recovery process, the patient can directly observe the white spot around to the center gradually become black; if the area is larger, the middle of the white area will sporadically appear brown spot, called “color island”, color island gradually become more, each gradually expand until the white disappears.
The actual fact is that you can see the skin gradually recover after 1-3 months of vitiligo treatment, the effect varies according to the severity of the patient and the sensitivity of the skin, finally you can not see the disease traces. But even if the effect is very satisfactory, patients should not stop the medication by themselves, or to find a doctor to see, may also need to use the medication to consolidate a period of time. If there is no improvement after 3 months of treatment, it is likely that the patient is also suffering from systemic diseases such as endocrine disorders, which can form resistance to the medication, the most common cause of which is hyperthyroidism. Therefore, if a patient is found to have hyperthyroidism, it is important to explain to the doctor that patients with poor efficacy need to undergo a systemic examination and adjust the primary disease in order to see the efficacy.
