Skin pigmentation loss is related to albinism, anemia nevus, vitiligo, etc. Patients can follow the doctor’s prescription of medication or other treatments.
1. Albinism: Currently there is a lack of effective treatment for albinism, and the disease cannot be cured. If it is clear that albinism causes loss of skin pigmentation, you should pay attention to daily skin care, avoid ultraviolet radiation, and try to wear a hat and long sleeves when you go out.
2. Nevus of anemia: Generally, nevus of anemia does not need to be treated, and there is no effective treatment drug at present. If the nevus affects the beauty of the nevus, you can try to cover it with a masking agent.
3. Vitiligo: If it is clear that it is caused by vitiligo, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to use glucocorticoid preparations, such as betamethasone valerate, hydrocortisone butyrate. Patients can also apply 0.1% tacrolimus ointment, 1% pimecrolimus cream and other calcium-modulated phosphatase inhibitors, topical captopanol, tacalcitol ointment and other vitamin D3 derivatives treatment.
In addition to medications, it can also be treated with glucocorticoids such as prednisone and relapsing betamethasone internally, as well as surgical treatments such as autologous epidermal slice transplantation and microscopic dermal slice transplantation with phototherapy. For patients with white spots larger than 95% of the body surface area, decolorization treatment is feasible when necessary.
It is recommended that people with skin pigmentation loss should do further detailed examination and follow the doctor’s instructions after the cause of the disease is clarified, and should not use drugs or prescriptions indiscriminately on their own.
