How to Determine the Condition of Vitiligo?

Many patients suffering from vitiligo do not know their condition, because the severity of each vitiligo patient is different, the condition is also different, and besides, there are many types of vitiligo.

First, the condition of vitiligo can be judged by the color of the skin. The color of white patches of vitiligo at the early stage of the onset of vitiligo is shallow, light white, or milky white, but with the aggravation of the disease, the color of vitiligo gradually becomes more white and can be shown as cloudy white, milky white or porcelain white, these colors indicate that the condition of vitiligo is severe, there is a certain treatment difficulty. So when the color of the white patches is light, representing the condition is not yet bad, after the color becomes more white indicates that the condition has been aggravated.

Second, the condition of vitiligo can be judged from the area. The onset of vitiligo is not unchanging, the white patches may spread at any time, if the area of the white patches is small, only a coin or green bean size, indicating that the disease is relatively light, at this time if receive timely the treatment, the white patches will disappear faster, the disease is easy to control. If patients do not get timely diagnosis and treatment, the area of the white patches will gradually expand, the disease will be aggravated, and even spread all over the body if patients don’t use treatment at all in some cases.

Third, the condition of the vitiligo can be judged by the color of the hair. If we want to know the severity of vitiligo, we can also observe the color of the affected hair. This is also a basis for determining the severity of the disease. When the vitiligo condition is serious, it will involve the hair, the for the serious condition patients, the white patches of affected hair will turn white. There are also severe patients who still have hair color unchanged, but if the hair turns white, it represents a more serious condition.

No matter how severe the patient's vitiligo onset is, they have to go to the hospital early to make a good diagnosis and then treat it as soon as possible. The more time you spend in the early stages of vitiligo, the better the treatment, after a long time without treatment, will greatly increase the difficulty of treatment. And finally, we hope that the majority of vitiligo patients recover early.
