Does the Time of Vitiligo Affect the Treatment Effect?

The time patients get vitiligo will affect the treatment effect of it. Generally speaking, the shorter the disease time, the better the effect of treatment vitiligo; the longer the disease time, the worse the effect of treatment will be. Clinical studies have proven that in patients with a short time of the disease, the melanocytes in their white patches area have not been completely destroyed and there are still inactive melanocytes in the hair follicle area. On the other hand, for patients with a long time of the disease, more melanocytes on their white patches area are destroyed, the treatment would only rely on non-functional inactive melanocytes on the root of hair follicles to proliferate, which would be more difficult, and relying on drug therapy alone is difficult to treat it.

In addition to the duration of the disease, the appropriate treatment measures and the cooperative patient will also affect the efficacy of the treatment. Therefore, patients should go to a professional and regular hospital for treatment, and take suitable treatment methods according to the severity of vitiligo. The patient in the treatment of vitiligo disease at the same time also needs to pay attention to health keeping, adjust their mentality, establish confidence and determination, face reality bravely, and reduce psychological pressure, actively cooperate with the doctor, so as to play a good role in the treatment of vitiligo. This includes the impact of the patient's own psychology on the treatment of the disease, the patient's daily habits, diet rules, etc., which are affecting the effect of vitiligo patient treatment. In addition, the individual difference of patients is also great, even if the same body, in different periods, different parts, the efficacy of treatment also has significant differences.
