Why Some Vitiligo Patients Still Can't Recovery After a Long Time of Treatment?

For many years, vitiligo has been a stubborn skin disease that has plagued doctors and patients alike, and because of that many people believe it is an incurable disease. In fact, vitiligo is certainly difficult to treat, but not untreatable.

The main reasons why vitiligo treatment does not have an effect for a long time are the following:

(1) Using medicine without finding the cause of the disease and without a scientific treatment plan.

Many unsuccessful cases in the past, are mainly because vitiligo patients seeking medical too eagerly, they were anxious for the total treatment, they use Western medicine one day, use Chinese medicine tomorrow, and use some prescription the day after tomorrow, without a systematic and regular treatment, the treatment effect will often not be good.

A lot of vitiligo patients are not looking for experts for systematic treatment but went everywhere to find quackery, prescriptions, and informal drugs, resulting in misdiagnosis and mistreatment. There are also patients who are not in the stable stage of vitiligo but still use implantation surgery, which after the operation there would be a large area of white patches expansion. Their vitiligo would become more difficult to treat.

(2) Missing the best treatment time, did not carrying out the system of treatment:

If vitiligo patients do not pay early attention to their condition, when the vitiligo develops to the bare skin parts, which would result in serious melanin loss, and white patches expansion, aggravating the condition. Only then they would think about systematic treatment, which not only wastes money and affects their image, but also makes treatment more difficult.

(3) Abuse of drugs:

Many patients do not use drugs under the guidance of experts but read the instructions only to use drugs, regardless of the type and cause, they would use any drug as long as it is for vitiligo disease, with the eagerness of trying to treat it. However, vitiligo is a chronic stubborn skin disease caused by skin pigment loss, and the treatment of it is not simple.

(4) Do not pay attention to the diet:

Many patients like to eat spicy and irritating food in daily life, such as chili, mustard, seafood, etc. Eating too much of that food can lead to the aggravation of vitiligo. Therefore, patients should eat less of those foods in their daily life.

(5) Network addiction and family structure instability:

These would cause long-term depression, anxiety, and some external stimulation, resulting in vitiligo treatment effect is not obvious.

Vitiligo is a chronic and persistent skin disease caused by pigment loss. The treatment of vitiligo should be a comprehensive analysis of the patient's causative factors, type, severalty, and whether in the progressive stage and many other factors to develop a treatment plan, and then to conduct a systematic treatment.
