Vitiligo may be inherited by children.
Vitiligo is a common acquired depigmentation disorder manifesting as complete loss of pigmentation in localized or generalized skin mucosa and hair follicles. The causes are as follows:
1. Congenital factors: The occurrence of vitiligo is related to abnormalities in the immune system, and it may also be caused by the destruction of melanocytes. If parents have vitiligo, the probability of their children developing vitiligo is higher;
2. Acquired factors: Negative emotions such as mental stress and anxiety, as well as endocrine disorders, can also induce vitiligo. Sun exposure, contact with chemicals, or trauma may also cause the occurrence of vitiligo.
Treatment:
Vitiligo patients can be treated with glucocorticoid drugs under the guidance of a doctor, such as halometasone cream and mometasone cream, which can play an anti-inflammatory role and promote recovery. Oral prednisone acetate and methotrexate can also be taken to assist in improving symptoms. If necessary, ultraviolet light exposure can be used to promote melanin synthesis and facilitate disease recovery.
It is recommended that patients maintain a good mindset, avoid excessive tension and anxiety, and take good sun protection measures to avoid prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays. Additionally, pay attention to a balanced diet and consume foods rich in vitamins, such as apples, oranges, and tomatoes, to supplement the body's necessary nutrients, which can also be beneficial for disease management.
