How to Identify Early Vitiligo?

There is a common misunderstanding that vitiligo is a kind of skin disease that is easy to diagnose and difficult to treat. In fact, vitiligo is rarely detected in the early stage, and many people do not make timely diagnosis and treatment, which will lead to the expansion and aggravation of white spots.

In fact, there are some symptoms in the early stages of vitiligo:
① There is no itching in the affected area, even if there is, it’s very slight.
②The decolorization spots are relatively small, generally only 1 to 2 pieces, and most of them appear in the exposed part of the skin.
③In addition to the loss of pigment, the skin at the decolorization spot is the same as the surrounding skin, without other changes such as inflammation. If the above symptoms appear, if there are no other skin diseases, the first consideration is early vitiligo.

The white spot of the patient generally has the following characteristics:
① The location of the white spot. White spots occur in areas that are easily rubbed and exposed to sunlight, such as the face, neck, abdomen, forearm, fingers, and back.
② Shape of white spots. Typical white spots are mostly nail to coin size, round, oval, later may expand or merge with each other into large irregular patches, but no matter how its shape changes, the edge of the white spot is always visible than the surrounding color deepened pigment bands or white spots with island-like pigment points. There is also a typical white spot that distributes along the nerve strip or strip decolorization spot, the edge of it like the knife cut neatly.

Once found suffering from vitiligo, patients should go to a professional, regular hospital dermatology treatment in time. Patients should have healthy living habits, patience and perseverance, and adhere to treatment. Eat less or do not eat spicy, greasy and other irritating food. As far as possible to choose pure cotton underwear, underpants, do not wear chemical fiber clothing.
