The symptoms of vitiligo are quite obvious, the causes of the disease are quite complicated, and it is very harmful to physical health. The most obvious symptom of vitiligo is the appearance of white spots around healthy skin, which will gradually increase in size. It often appears on the limbs and face, has a great psychological impact on the patient, and is also very harmful to the internal organs. If it can be discovered early and then treated early, the effect is often better. 1. The most obvious symptom of vitiligo is the appearance of white spots: Normally, patients with vitiligo will have white spots at the affected area. The skin of vitiligo patients reacts more sensitively to sunlight than normal people. They will turn red when exposed to the sun for a little while. As the disease progresses, the white spots will continue to expand and the color will continue to deepen, and will stop spreading when it reaches a certain extent. The skin lesions are localized depigmentation and white spots that are milky white in color. The hair inside may become white or normal, but there are no other changes in the skin and no subjective symptoms. 2. Damage to melanocytes is an intrinsic symptom of vitiligo: According to years of clinical research by experts, the symptoms of vitiligo are mainly due to damage to melanocytes in the patient's body and reduced melanin synthesis. We all know that the skin has color due to the presence of melanin in the human skin. Different skin colors such as black, white, yellow, and brown are due to different melanin content. Vitiligo patients have damaged melanocytes in the epidermis and are unable to synthesize melanin like normal people, resulting in white spots. Most of the white spots are distributed symmetrically, but in many cases the lesions are arranged along nerve segments. In addition to skin damage, some mucous membranes may also be affected. 3. Understand the staging and classification of vitiligo symptoms: According to experts, we can usually classify the symptoms of vitiligo into five types based on the symptoms and signs of patients with vitiligo in clinical practice, namely: localized, sporadic, generalized, acral and segmental types; according to the degree of depigmentation in the lesions, it can be divided into complete and incomplete types; according to the patient's medical history, the stage of vitiligo can also be divided into progressive and stable stages. The main symptoms of vitiligo include changes in the patient's internal environment and external skin color. Understanding and recognizing these changes is a prerequisite for the differential diagnosis of vitiligo. |
