How to treat early stage of vitiligo

Vitiligo is also known as vitiligo. Many people may have seen this type of patient. It is mainly caused by the disappearance of the function of melanocytes in the skin. The skin appears white and can appear in any part of the body, which looks scary. Vitiligo is a skin disease that is very difficult to treat. The early stage is the best time to treat it, and timely treatment is helpful in controlling the disease. So, how to treat vitiligo in the early stages? Let’s take a look below.

Starting treatment of vitiligo in its early stages can produce significant results. The white spots that appear in the first 1 to 2 months after the onset of vitiligo can often disappear completely within half a month to two months of treatment. This is because in the initial stage of vitiligo, there are still melanocytes that are not completely destroyed in the lesions. We call this "incomplete vitiligo". If treated early at this time, it is expected that the melanocytes in the basal layer of the skin of the vitiligo will be repaired, divide and proliferate, secrete melanin, and transport it to various layers of the epidermis through the dendritic protrusions, thus achieving the best therapeutic effect. At the same time, when white spots first appear, the area is small, and the melanocytes in the surrounding normal skin can migrate to the white spot area, which also helps the white spots disappear quickly and shortens the treatment period.

1. Diet-assisted treatment: Patients must pay attention to diet during treatment. This is also a relatively effective auxiliary treatment. Therefore, patients with vitiligo can eat more black foods in normal times, which can effectively supplement the melanin that is lacking in their bodies. These foods include black fungus, kelp, sea cucumber, celery, eggplant, walnut kernels, etc. However, we should also pay attention to the fact that there are some foods that cannot be eaten. We should pay attention to eating less foods that contain too much vitamin C, spicy foods, seafood, etc.

2. Nutritional supplement: Properly supplement the trace elements needed by the body. The main thing is to supplement more nutrition when the symptoms first appear. In your daily diet, you should eat more foods rich in trace elements to supplement the trace elements, because this is very beneficial to the recovery of vitiligo. In addition, patients should also eat more foods containing copper, zinc, iron and other elements in normal times.

3. Cooperate with treatment: If friends suffering from vitiligo want to receive effective treatment in the early stage, they must take medicine on time according to the doctor's instructions, and also cooperate with the doctor for effective treatment. And in daily life, we must also pay attention to our own nutrition.
