How to prevent vitiligo

If you have vitiligo, you must receive timely treatment and strengthen prevention. There must be some taboos in life. For example, try not to take vitamin C tablets. Also, you must avoid exposing your skin to the sun. A good attitude is also very important. One of the causes of vitiligo is bad emotions. In addition, you should also pay attention to dietary balance and eat more foods rich in trace elements and vitamins.

1. Avoid taking vitamin C.

Vitamin C is often used to treat a variety of diseases because it can immediately reduce the formed dopaquinone to dopa, thereby interrupting the biosynthesis of melanin.

2. Avoid exposure to strong sunlight.

The sunlight shines directly on the ground with high intensity, which can easily cause skin inflammation after exposure, especially in exposed parts such as the head and face, which often causes melanocytes to be damaged and lose the ability to produce melanin. However, patients with vitiligo should actively and moderately cooperate with sun exposure. Sun exposure time varies with the season.

3. Maintain a good and healthy attitude.

Stay calm in the face of emergencies. The factors of "depression leading to illness" or "illness leading to depression" have an impact on both health and melanin metabolism.

4. Manage the environment and reduce water pollution.

Exposure to certain pathogenic phenolic chemicals should be avoided. Prevent drug-induced leukoplakia caused by long-term use of certain drugs.

5. Be careful of skin injuries.

Trauma can cause the skin to turn white. This may be due to damage to the nerve fibers at the local site of trauma, or the body is in a state of high stress, which causes dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system in the body and reduces the synthesis and metabolism of melanin.

6. Pay attention to isomorphic reactions. An isomorphic reaction induced by local stimulation of the skin. Pay attention to the relationship between autoimmunity and the onset of vitiligo. Some vitiligo patients, especially those who develop the disease at a later age, often suffer from organ-specific autosensitivity diseases.

7. Reduce harmful substances entering through the respiratory tract.

Do not do strenuous exercises such as running on the road or in places with heavy smoke and dust. Reduce exposure to harmful substances. Try to minimize contact with chemical raw materials, paints and coatings, etc. For example, a newly renovated house must be fully ventilated and dried for more than 3 months before it can be occupied. Labor protection measures must be taken when working with chemical raw materials.
