How Much Do You Know About Recessive Vitiligo

The following situations were encountered by the patient when seeing the doctor:

There is only one white spot on my body. I went to the hospital for an examination and found that there were several white spots in the adjacent area. Why can’t I see it with the naked eye?

I have white spots the size of rice grains on my body, which cannot be seen unless I look carefully. Could this be vitiligo? Why is it not obvious?

In the patients who are being treated, the leukoplakia in the treatment area has shrunk, but new leukoplakia appear around it. Is this the spread caused by the poor treatment effect?

These are likely to be caused by "recessive" vitiligo!

1. What is recessive vitiligo?

Recessive leukoplakia is actually the predecessor of visible leukoplakia, leukoplakia invisible to the naked eye, but can be detected under professional equipment.

Vitiligo may become more noticeable over time. There are also patients who suddenly increase the number of white spots during the treatment process. In fact, it may be that the recessive vitiligo is stimulated and exposed.

So when a diagnosis of vitiligo is made, it is important to check other parts of the body for hidden white spots.

2. Does the recessive leukoplakia need to be treated?

The harder it is to find, the more serious the outbreak will be, and recessive vitiligo needs to be treated as soon as possible.

In the face of recessive vitiligo, we should adhere to the three principles of early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment, and cure the leukoplakia before it becomes visible.

3. How to treat recessive leukoplakia?

For recessive vitiligo, it is recommended that patients take some drugs scientifically and according to the cause under the guidance of a doctor. If necessary, Chinese medicine can be used for auxiliary comprehensive treatment.

Take targeted treatment according to different conditions, and then match it with a reasonable diet to improve your own immunity and maintain a good attitude, so as to make the treatment effect better.

4. Will recessive vitiligo still appear after treatment?

If the melanocytes in the skin lesions are not completely destroyed during the period of recessive leukoplakia, the leukoplakia can be cured before it is exposed; if the melanocytes have been completely destroyed, appropriate treatment measures can be taken in time, With proper treatment, the chances of recovery are relatively high!

5. How to check whether there is recessive vitiligo on the body?
