What are the white spots on my legs?

In the hot summer, people are used to wearing shorts, which are both cool and good-looking. However, some people have white spots on their legs. This may be caused by a lack of vitamins in the body, excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays, and some pigment diseases. In short, people need to pay attention to it. The following is a detailed introduction to what are the white spots on the legs.

There are many reasons for the growth of small white spots on the legs. Excessive light, lack of trace elements and traumatic stimulation may all cause small white spots on the legs. Symptoms of pigment diseases such as tinea versicolor and anemic nevus can also cause small white spots to appear. Therefore, if patients find small white spots, they should not take it lightly. They should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and examination in time to avoid delaying treatment.

1. Excessive light. When the skin is exposed to light, the melanocytes and melanin synthesis process become relatively active, so light can make people darker. However, after receiving excessive light, ultraviolet rays are likely to cause melanocyte hyperactivity and compensatory proliferation. The end result is that melanocytes quickly die, melanin synthesis is interrupted, and small white spots appear.

2. Traumatic stimulation. Some external traumatic stimuli, such as burns, frostbite, surgical wounds, etc., are the causes of small white spots on the patients' hands. Moreover, the appearance of these small white spots often means that the patient has suffered from vitiligo. This should be taken seriously. If it can be discovered and treated early, the possibility of cure is still very high.

3. Lack of trace elements. Trace elements are active substances that participate in the intermediate links of the body's metabolism, such as copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, etc. They are directly involved in the synthesis of melanocytes and also protect melanocytes from damage by heavy metal poisons. Trace element deficiency and imbalance can lead to melanocyte synthesis disorders.
