Can the skin color be restored in the part of white patches with graying hair?

Patients often ask about why the white patches appear on the scalp, around the eyes, under the arms, perineum, around the anus. Not only does the skin turn white, but also the hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, armpit hair, pubic hair, etc. So, Why?

The pigment in the hair comes mainly from the melanocytes in the root tips outside the hair follicle. If the hair turns white, it means that the melanocyte in hair follicle has been destroyed, which is very adverse to the recovery of hair melanin. This shows that the condition of vitiligo has developed to a very serious degree,and it increases difficulty to the treatment of vitiligo.

Nevertheless, the graying of a patient's hair does not mean it is incurable. As long as patients follow the doctor's advice, adhere to targeted treatment, pay attention to diet regulation in life, ensure adequate nutrition, strengthen exercise, ensure sleep, improve body immunity. The color of the hair will return after the white spots of the skin are restored.
