Why is There a Small White Patch on My Face?

A small white patch on the face may be caused by excessive parasites in the body, or it may be due to vitiligo. The white patches caused by vitiligo have a smooth surface with no scales and clear edges. If the boundary between the white skin and normal skin is obvious, there is a possibility of vitiligo.

Psychological factors play a significant role in the development of vitiligo. Many patients often feel unhappy, resulting in psychological stress and exhaustion, which can lead to the occurrence of vitiligo. Vitiligo manifests on the skin, seriously affecting external appearance. After onset, patients often develop more severe psychological barriers, such as autism, inferiority complex, and even suicidal tendencies, which are most unfavorable for the treatment of vitiligo and often become important reasons for its aggravation and recurrence.

Many patients cannot adhere to treatment. When the treatment effect is not ideal or not obvious in a short period of time, they will abandon the current treatment and seek other treatments. However, after changing many doctors and taking many medications, they often cannot achieve good results, and even their condition may worsen. By adhering to formal and systematic treatment and maintaining confidence in treatment, vitiligo can be cured.

In terms of diet, patients should avoid spicy foods and alcoholic beverages, including beer and liquor. They should also avoid tomatoes, as they contain a large amount of vitamin C, which can interrupt the synthesis of melanin and prevent the regeneration of melanin in the affected areas. Other foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, pomelo, apricots, hawthorn, cherries, kiwi, strawberries, and waxberry, should be eaten sparingly or avoided altogether.
