The cause of vitiligo is not clear, may be related to genetic, autoimmune, oxidative stress, melanocyte self-destruction and other factors.
1. hereditary: some patients have family gathering phenomenon, belong to the category of polygenic diseases, if relatives have a disease, the risk of their own disease will be relatively high.
2. Autoimmune: If you suffer from thyroid disease, adrenal hypolipidemia and other diseases, it may increase the risk of the disease.
3. oxidative stress: local trauma leads to impaired skin function, affecting melanocyte metabolism, proliferation and differentiation, may also induce vitiligo.
4. melanocyte self-destruction: due to occupational and industrialization and other factors, contact or absorption of certain chemicals, as well as prolonged exposure to sunlight, epidermal melanocyte hyperfunction, prompting its depletion and early recession caused by pigment loss.
The occurrence of vitiligo may also be related to factors such as neurochemical factors. If vitiligo is diagnosed, it is recommended that professional treatment be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor.
