Is vitiligo contagious?

Vitiligo is a skin depigmentation disease that is relatively common in dermatology. The disease is more often considered to be related to autoimmunity. There is a type of cell in the skin called melanocytes. These cells play an important role in maintaining normal skin color of human skin. If the function of melanocytes is reduced or disappears, localized skin pigmentation will occur, forming white spots on the skin, which greatly affects the appearance.

1. First of all, it is certain that vitiligo is an immune-related skin disease, not an infectious skin disease, so vitiligo is not contagious, and it is safe to have skin contact with vitiligo patients. With the quickening pace of life and the increasing pressure of study and work, more and more people are suffering from vitiligo, so this disease is also related to mental factors.

2. There is also another view that the level of ceruloplasmin in the blood and skin of patients with macular degeneration is insufficient, and the activity of tyrosinase is significantly reduced, which in turn affects melanocytes.

3. Vitiligo often starts from a local area and can spread progressively. Therefore, when the vitiligo is only localized, it is necessary to actively treat it to prevent its spread. Local macules can be treated with a combination of tacrolimus ointment and tacalcitol ointment, which can achieve good therapeutic effects.

4. Vitiligo is just unsightly in appearance, but it is not contagious. The so-called infection is caused by pathogens, and vitiligo is a common and multiple pigmented skin disease. There are no pathogens, so vitiligo is not contagious! Any contact behavior will not infect you with vitiligo, so you can rest assured. Patients are advised to seek treatment early to avoid delaying the disease, missing the best treatment time, and causing unnecessary consequences.
