Common Medical Misconception for Vitiligo Patients

The reason why much clinical vitiligo is not healed for a long time is sometimes related to misunderstandings of the treatment. Vitiligo patients should have an objective and correct understanding of the treatment of the disease and avoid the following common misconception.

Which is actually the practice of treating the symptoms but will not solve the fundamental cause of the vitiligo, many patients do not understand the reasoning behind this and tend to choose this treatment plan. There are also patients who only pay attention to local topical drugs, but ignore the overall regulation of the system with drugs; in fact, the onset of vitiligo is caused by a variety of factors, mostly immune system disorders or local nerve function abnormalities. Proper internal drugs to adjust the body's disorder state need to, gradually heal the white patches or control their development of it.

Misconception two: blindly believing in folk prescriptions or secret recipes. Which eventually leads to the aggravation of the disease. Many patients will have certain psychological fluctuations after a long treatment process. Sometimes due to the economic situation or when receiving treatment does not have a good effect, they will blindly seek the so-called folk prescription treatment, these prescriptions may have some effect at first, but long-term improper treatment will appear adverse effects, and even lead to aggravation of the white patches.

Misconception three: have fluke psychology. Some patients choose to not treat this disease at all.

Misconception five: the pursuit of new specialty drugs and high-tech products. Some vitiligo patients think that now the technology is developed, there must be many advanced means or drugs that can cure the disease, easy to fall into the net of being deceived by some new terms.

Misconception six: Lack of patience and giving up on treatment midway. The treatment of vitiligo is a relatively long process, 3 months for a course of treatment, the effect time also varies from person to person. So patients must have confidence and patience when treating.
