Does vitiligo transmit through blood?
Vitiligo is not transmitted through blood. It is a common acquired pigmentation disorder and is not an infectious disease, so it will not be transmitted through blood.
1. Genetic factors: If both or one of the parents have vitiligo, the probability of their children developing vitiligo is relatively high;
2. Psychological factors: Long-term stress, excessive pressure, and other situations may lead to endocrine disorders and induce vitiligo;
3. Environmental factors: If patients are exposed to prolonged sunlight or chemicals, it may also lead to the destruction of melanocytes and trigger vitiligo;
4. Others: Factors such as trauma and drug stimulation can also cause vitiligo.
1. General treatment: For localized vitiligo, glucocorticoid drugs can be used as prescribed, such as halometasone cream, mometasone furoate cream, etc. Phototherapy can also be used to improve symptoms. For segmental vitiligo, autologous epidermal grafting can be adopted; observe the efficacy for about 2 years, and surgical treatment can be selected if necessary, such as microskin grafting and single follicular transplantation, to promote recovery.
It is recommended to maintain a good mindset in daily life, avoid excessive anxiety and emotional fluctuations, and pay attention to skin care. Reduce sun exposure time, take sun protection measures when going out, and avoid direct ultraviolet rays, which is conducive to disease recovery.
