How to control vitiligo? Daily health care should be done well

Vitiligo is sometimes congenital and sometimes acquired. It is most obvious on the face, back of the hands, and neck. To control vitiligo, you must pay attention to your diet and eat more foods rich in minerals. You can also choose physical therapy and drug therapy to control vitiligo.

1. Daily health care

Due to the lack of certain trace metal elements in the blood and white spot areas of vitiligo patients, the activity of tyrosinase in the body is reduced, which affects the synthesis and metabolism of melanin and thus causes lesions. Patients should eat more foods rich in tyrosine and minerals, such as beef, pork, eggs, fresh vegetables, beans, peanuts, black sesame seeds, raisins, nuts, and shellfish. Dietary restrictions are an important part of preventing vitiligo. Taking VC is harmful to vitiligo patients, so they should try not to eat or eat less foods rich in VC. Daily life experience also shows that so-called "hot foods" or "irritating foods" can also affect the condition and treatment effects, and are not conducive to recovery from the disease, so attention should be paid.
