Leukoplakia, generally referred to as vitiligo, is a common pigment-deficient disease caused by the destruction of melanocytes in the skin. The etiology of the disease is still unclear, and may be related to oxidative stress, autoimmunity, neurochemical factors, genetic factors and so on.
1. oxidative stress: local trauma, skin injury stimulation will increase the risk of vitiligo.
2. autoimmune: such as thyroid disease, hypoadrenocorticism, etc. will increase the risk of vitiligo.
3. neurochemical factors: long-term mental overstress, overload work pressure, so that the body is often in a state of excessive fatigue will increase the risk of vitiligo.
4. genetic factors: clinical observation, some cases are related to heredity, but does not affect the treatment of this disease.
If the symptoms of white spot disease aggravated, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital to clarify the cause of the disease, standardized treatment.
