Vitiligo is a chronic depigmentation disease of the skin or mucous membranes, often manifesting as localized or generalized white patches of pigment loss. It mostly affects exposed areas of the body such as the head, face and hands. It is a long course of the disease, and the treatment is slow to take effect.
The incidence of vitiligo is about 0.1%-2% in all races and is generally lower in lighter skin tones and higher in darker skin tones.
The cause of vitiligo is complex and the pathogenesis is not well understood. It may be related to genetics, immune function, neuropsychological stress, melanocyte self-destruction and the relative lack of complexine and copper ions
To a certain extent, it can guide the use of medication and determine the effectiveness of treatment.

Vitiligo treatment: to judge whether a drug is effective generally need to take several months, if there is a normal skin island on the white spot, it is the performance of effective treatment, then it must be insisted.
The choice of oral medication: because vitiligo is a chronic disease, treatment time is long, in the choice of oral medication (generally do not need to inject or drip), must follow no or very low side effects of the drug, so many of the current treatment of vitiligo is Chinese medicine. We have been developing vitiligo drugs since 1952, and after many trials and perfections, we finally succeeded in developing vitiligo pills in 1958, and after more than 50 years of clinical tests, it has very good therapeutic effects and is extremely safe for children and the elderly.
The actual treatment of vitiligo is limited by the effect of a single drug, and at present, the combination of treatment and individualization of treatment is used.

Pigment Transplantation
New vitiligo special high intensity light therapy system (Dualight phototherapysystem): In 2008, our department spent a lot of money to introduce the vitiligo special therapy system from TheraLightg, which can accelerate the melanin production in the white spot area, enhance the activity of complexinase, etc., and at the same time can precisely control the treatment dose of light to reduce side effects.
Pigment transplantation: Patients in the stable stage (no change in lesions for at least 3 months) can be treated with pigmentation transplantation. Our hospital is the only provincial hospital that performs pigmentation transplantation, which is performed by a dermatologist who graduated from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, with a success rate of over 90%, fine surgery, perfect detailing, healing in 7-10 days, and visible results after 1 month.
Tacrolimus: Tacrolimus is a new type of macrolide immunomodulator extracted from soil, which can stimulate complexinase activity and expression, directly promote melanocyte migration, restore pigmentation, and has little side effects, does not cause skin atrophy and capillary dilation like hormone cream, and can be used for a long time.
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.
