The most effective treatment for vitiligo

Vitiligo is a skin disease that is difficult to treat, especially in spring and summer, when the chance of recurrence is higher and the condition is relatively more serious. This is mainly because the ultraviolet rays are stronger in the summer, which can easily deepen the color of the white spots. In order to cure vitiligo effectively, good habits are essential, such as eating less irritating foods, reducing direct sunlight exposure, and cooperating with doctors in treatment.

Vitiligo is a difficult disease and it is rare to hear of it healing without treatment in clinical practice. This disease generally develops faster in spring and summer and slower in winter. In winter, we are exposed to less ultraviolet rays than in summer, so white spots will appear lighter in winter than in summer. This is a visual difference compared with normal skin. It doesn't mean the condition has improved.

Vitiligo is a stubborn skin disease, and its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Many factors can cause the onset of vitiligo and it is easy to relapse, so it is difficult to cure it. However, this does not mean that vitiligo cannot be cured. As long as scientific and professional treatment is carried out to grasp the cause and prescribe the right medicine, vitiligo can still be recovered. In real life, some patients are easily induced by adverse external factors and choose the wrong treatment method, which is not only not conducive to the recovery of vitiligo, but also aggravates the condition and delays treatment.

Although the chance of self-healing is very small, it does not mean that self-healing cannot occur. As long as the patient maintains a good emotional state, faces life positively, and avoids certain taboos, I believe that recovery from the disease belongs to every patient.

1. Medical treatment

1. Systemic treatment ① Phototherapy: oral psoralen preparations plus ultraviolet light or sunlight exposure, 2 to 3 times a week. ② Hormones: Patients in the advanced stage can take small doses of oral prednisone.

2. Local treatment ① Hormones: topical halometasone ointment, 0.2% betamethasone cream, 0.5g% halobetasol cream, etc. ②Anthralin: Apply 0.1% anthralin ointment externally, 1 to 2 times a day for 8 weeks. ③ Apply Xiaobailing tincture and Minbailing externally, twice a day.

(II) Surgical treatment

For segmental cases, skin grafting can be used to treat the quiescent period. If a vitiligo patient shows one of the following symptoms after a period of treatment, it means that the drug treatment is effective.

1. Vitiligo no longer develops.

2. The edge of the white spot changes from blurry to clear.

3. The pigmentation at the edges of the white spots darkens.

4. Follicular black spots grow in the center of the white spots.

5. The white spots turn red or gradually fade, become blurred, and shrink inward. At this time, it is important to seize the time to continue treatment in order to achieve the best results.

If the treatment is timely, the disease will develop in a good direction sooner. When receiving treatment, everyone must choose a method that suits them, so that they can achieve twice the result with half the effort. In addition, we should also strengthen prevention in aspects such as living habits in daily life. Healthy living starts with small things around us.
