What are the symptoms of vitiligo in different periods?

Hello, 1. Early manifestations of vitiligo: In the early stage of vitiligo, the patient's skin will occasionally have some depigmentation, and then white spots will appear at the affected site. The white patches are milky or white in color.

The shape is nearly round, oval, or irregular. Some margins are wound with bands of pigment. Some new leukoplakia has a slightly arched inflammatory dark red strip on the margin.

2. Manifestations of vitiligo in the middle stage: In the middle stage of vitiligo, a depigmented ring appears in the surrounding cities of the vitiligo site, its color is slightly darker than the white patches, lighter than the normal skin color, and the dispersion ring is intact.

3. Manifestations of advanced vitiligo: Patients with advanced vitiligo usually have a more serious incidence of vitiligo. The white patches on their bodies are usually map-shaped.

The white patches have ceased to develop, the number and area have ceased to increase, and the color of the white patches has gradually deepened, and the boundary with the surrounding skin has become clear, making it easy to identify. The white spots appear porcelain-white in color.

It is recommended that vitiligo patients with vitiligo are the best period for vitiligo in the early stage, and vitiligo can be controlled in time by using scientific methods. In the early stage of vitiligo, the white patches are small, the white spots are light in color, and the lesions still contain a large number of melanocytes.

Different periods of vitiligo will have different symptoms, different periods of vitiligo show different symptoms, vitiligo in the early stage, white spots are generally white, mainly in a variety of shapes of different sizes. In the development stage of vitiligo, the color of the white spots will generally become milky white or even porcelain white, the area of the white spots will spread, and the color of the white spots in the stable stage will slowly recover, and the white spots will no longer spread.

**After a period of time, some white spots will have clear edges and even melanin spots.

Early**, the initial period is the easiest to recover.

Vitiligo is an acquired disease that develops due to depigmentation. It is mainly manifested as **smooth surface, no scales, **itchy white patches. White spots are mostly milky white or white, and whiter people are not easy to distinguish.

The shape is as large as a mung bean to a fingernail or coin, and the shape is mostly round, oval, and irregular. **They can be fused with each other to form a map. Under the influence of factors such as sun exposure, vitiligo is prone to spread.

Punctate leukoplakia in the elderly is a phenomenon of senile pigmentation, which often occurs in people over the age of 45.

Sweat spots are a superficial mycosis with scales and refractive on the surface, mostly distributed in areas with developed sebum, such as the neck, chest, back, etc.

Insect spots mainly occur in children and young adults, and the white spots are incomplete depigmentation and the surface is rough.

Albinism is a congenital decrease or deficiency of pigment throughout the body**, hair, and eye tissues. The hair is silvery-white, pure white, pale white, yellowish-white, golden, and black-brown with a silky luster and is as fine as silk.

The diagnosis of vitiligo and ** can only be determined by going to a regular hospital for examination. Don't delay your illness and miss the best opportunity.

After the onset of vitiligo in the early stage, there is also a dark red halo on the edge of the vitiligo, which is an inflammatory symptom after the onset of vitiligo, which will appear in some patients and will not appear in some patients. In addition, white spots may also appear in the ** part of the patient with hair, and the hair will also turn white as the condition worsens.

These are the main symptoms of vitiligo in the early onset of vitiligo, and let's introduce the ** diseases that are similar to vitiligo.

tinea versicolor: tinea versicolor, also known as dyshidrosis, is a relatively common disease, the white spots that appear after the onset of the disease mainly appear on the head, face, neck and upper limbs of the patient, the depigmented spots are yellow-brown or light white, the pigment will not disappear completely, the surface of the lesion is often attached to small scales, or fungal hyphae and spores can be observed;

Pityriasis simplex in children: This is a relatively common disease in children, after the onset of the disease, there will be round or oval depigmented spots, generally the size of a palm, these depigmented spots will not be completely decolorized, but the color will become lighter;

Anemia nevus: This is a relatively common ** disease, and the white spots that appear after the onset of the disease are due to the loss of epidermal color caused by damage to the capillaries under the skin. Therefore, the skin lesions of anemia nevi do not turn red as normal** when rubbed, while vitiligo white spots can turn red when rubbed.

Anemia nevus: a limited hypopigmented spot, generally unilateral distribution or limited to a certain part of the birth or soon after the occurrence, after itself rarely continues to expand, the shape remains unchanged, the color is hypopigmentation rather than depigmentation, after vigorous rubbing or heating, the local area is not red, and the surrounding normal ** red, after the use of slide pressure, the edge of the lesion is more blurred. According to the above characteristics, it can be distinguished from vitiligo.

Tinea versicolor: It is a pale white round or ovoid patch that occurs on the neck, trunk, and upper limbs, and the surface is often scaly, and the fungus is easily found in the lesion. Key points of identification: vitiligo has no scaling, and the lesion is pressed with the fingers, and the boundary is clearer; In contrast, tinea versicolor is less clearly defined after compression.

Mottle disease: an autosomal dominant disorder associated with vitiligo in that there is a clear family history, skin lesions present at birth, most commonly in the frontal area, combined with gray hair, and white patches that are triangular or diamond-shaped.

The chest and abdomen, proximal extremities can also occur, the white patches are often dotted with normal pigment islands, the size of the lesions varies regardless of age, and some patients can also be combined with other dysplasia.

Senile vitiligo: the key points of differentiation between this disease and vitiligo are: it occurs in middle age and above, is common in the elderly, mainly seen in the chest, back, limbs, bean-sized round leukoplakia, slightly concave, scattered distribution without fusion.

(1) tinea versicolor: this disease sometimes only sees subdiscolored spots, which are easy to be confused with generalized punctate vitiligo, but the color of the spots of this disease is uneven, and the anatomy may be light red, brown or light yellowish gray, and the bity-like scales can be found on the spots, which can be itchy and obvious after sweating, and the filaments and spores can be found in direct microscopic examination.

2) Albinism: This disease is a congenital non-progressive disease, often with a family history, the iris of both eyes is transparent, and the choroidal pigment disappears. Onset in childhood, neither enlarges nor disappears, and the pigment around the lesion does not increase.

3) Simple pityriasis: more common in children, more common on the face, round or oval, common in 1 3 reduced pigment spots, the skin lesions are pale or gray, covered with a small amount of chaff-like desquamation, the edges are not clear, and there is no characteristic of deepening the peripheral pigment. It may be slightly itchy, which usually occurs in spring and can also occur in early summer or winter.

4) Senile punctate leukoplakia: more common in middle-aged and elderly people, the skin lesions are punctate leukoplakia of uniform size, which is more likely to occur on the trunk, the leukoplakia is slightly depressed, and there is no pigmentation around it.

5) Purple vitiligo: The skin lesions are purple-white patches with clear borders, slightly desquamated and shiny. The hair at the lesion does not turn white. Most of them are light in winter and heavy in summer, or they heal themselves in winter and recur in summer.

6) Anemia nevus: It is a localized vitiligo caused by hypopigmentation, mostly single, and the rash occurs in early childhood. Patting or rubbing, the white patches can not cause erythema reaction, redness can be seen around the affected area, and the damage can disappear by pressing the lesions around the lesions with a slide.

Nonpigmented nevus: onset after birth or shortly after birth, the lesions are often distributed along the nerve segments, manifested as localized or generalized hypochromic spots, the boundaries are blurred, the margins are mostly jagged, there is almost no pigment proliferation halo around, there are light brown millet to lentil freckle-like spots mixed with the fall, the feeling is normal, it lasts for life, and it is a type of nerve nevus.

Anemia nevus: Anemia nevus is a kind of fairy nature subtractive spots, mostly at birth, by the 100 million subtraction of the capillary cream tube is rarer than normal, rubbing the obituary around the ** congestion and white spots are a hundred, by the eight can be translated vitiligo difference, leprosy is infected.

Discoid lupus erythematosus: discoid lupus erythematosus that occurs on the cheeks and lips, often leaves a well-defined warm pigmented patch, similar to vitiligo, but this pigmentation usually has atrophy and capillary duct dilation, and sometimes adhesive beam disease can be found, and its leakage of large hair follicles.

Tinea versicolor: The patients of this disease are mainly infants and young children, and their pale white spots often appear on the cheeks, forehead and eyebrows, especially often scrubbing the surface, and it is not easy to adhere to the beam, so it is easy to be confused with early vitiligo, and should be noted.

Leukoplakia: Leukoplakia is mostly reticulated, striped or flaky, with white keratinizing lesions and often itching. Vitiligo, on the other hand, is only depigmented, the epidermis is normal, and depigmented lesions can often be found in the adjacent ** or slope area.

Vitiligo occurs on the surface, no pain or itching, and its most distinctive feature is that the surface presents "white patches", but not all white spots are vitiligo.

Other vitiligo diseases with symptoms similar to vitiligo:

1. Mottle disease: congenital hereditary disease, the most characteristic is the triangular or diamond-shaped white patches that occur in the frontal or slightly deviated parts, accompanied by localized white hair. Other deformities can also be associated with mottle disease.

2. Anemia nevus: Present after birth, the loss of melanin is uneven, the edge is not clear, and it is a very light-colored pale white patch, mostly confined to a certain part. Most patients do not spread, and the lesions increase as ** grows.

3. Tinea versicolor: tinea versicolor is a hypopigmented spot caused by fungi, which is light white, mostly occurs on the back, neck, chest and upper limbs, is distributed in sheets, the boundaries are unclear, and the scales can be seen to fall off by light scraping, which is easy to be confused with the early onset of vitiligo.

4. Albinism: congenital reduction or lack of pigment in the whole body**, hair and eye tissues. The hair is pure white, silvery-white, pale white, yellowish-white, golden, and black-brown with a silky luster and is as fine as silk.

5. Senile leukoplakia: common in the elderly, it is a round rice grain to a bean grain large leukoplakia, slightly concave, scattered distribution, not fusion, mostly occurs on the chest and back, limbs, not on the face.

6. Simple pityriasis: superficial hypochromic spots that are more common on children's face, pale and dry, with a small number of fine gray-white scales, and the boundary is unclear.

Early**. Under normal circumstances, most of the vitiligo has no conscious symptoms, and the initial stage of the disease is often a small area of white patches, but with the onset of the disease, the white spots will gradually migrate (spread) to the normal**, the surface is smooth without scaling, **no itching, so it is often easy to be ignored. However, some patients experience a slight itching sensation.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that once vitiligo is found, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis as soon as possible, and insist on going to the hospital for follow-up; Because the area of vitiligo at the beginning of the onset is small, the course of the disease is generally short, and the effect is relatively good, and many patients can completely.

Vitiligo is white patches, which are similar to many diseases, including: vitiligo, albinism, sweat spots, tinea versicolor, white chaff diagnosis, and so on. You can take a closer look at whether the surface of the vitiligo is smooth and flakes-free, not painful or itchy, and the vitiligo is pale white or milky white, if the border is blurred or spreads towards normal**, it may be vitiligo.

A lot, it affects appearance, it affects employment, so go to the hospital early**.

Some diseases are also similar to vitiligo, such as pityriasis alba, hypopigmentation, senile vitiligo, etc., Huahai recommends that once vitiligo is found, it is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check and diagnose, and then treat the symptoms**.

In the initial symptoms of vitiligo, the degree of depigmentation manifested by vitiligo is mild, and it is difficult to distinguish it from the surrounding normal**, so it is difficult to make a timely diagnosis as the initial symptom of vitiligo in people who are whiter**. Therefore, even if many people have early symptoms of vitiligo, they do not know that this is vitiligo, which increases the area of vitiligo and delays the best time for vitiligo.

Vitiligo is generally irregular, a large area of white patches that resembles a circle. Sweat spots, tinea versicolor are small patches, round patches, white patches. The cause of vitiligo is also different, vitiligo is the loss of melanocytes.

Sweat spots are mainly caused by fungal infections.

There are still many ** diseases similar to vitiligo, such as pityriasis alba and tinea versicolor.

The causes of vitiligo are complex, including autoimmunity, melanocyte self-destruction, neurochemical factors, genetic factors, trace elements, etc. The early symptoms of vitiligo are generally involuntary local**, mucous membranes and hair whitening, gradually expanding, clear borders, smooth surface, and no scaling.

There are still many ** diseases similar to vitiligo, pityriasis alba, tinea versicolor. It is recommended to go to the ** department to check it out.

Anemia nevi, tinea versicolor, pityriasis alba, etc., are all similar symptoms.

If you have tinea versicolor, anemia nevus, and simple pityriasis in children, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination.

For tinea versicolor, anemia nevi, and simple pityriasis in children, it is better to check it out.

1. Appearance of white spots in the initial stage:

Some new leukoplakia have a slightly raised, wild inflammatory dark red on the edge that can last for several weeks, and this early change is often asymptomatic and therefore easy to ignore; For the initial white patches with blurred boundaries and no hyperpigmentation, it is sometimes difficult to identify in time, which should attract the attention of the majority of patients, and this is also the best time for vitiligo.

2. Development period:

After a period of time, the white patches become the size of a nail to a coin, nearly round, oval or irregularly shaped, and there are also punctate subdiscolored spots at the onset of the disease, and the realm is more obvious; Some are edged with bands of pigment. In a few cases, the white spot spike ridge plexus is mixed with follicular punctate pigment proliferation, the latter can increase, enlarge and merge with each other into an island-like shape, except for the depigmentation, there is no atrophy or desquamation change in the affected area, the hair on the white spot can lose pigment and even completely white, and there are also those whose hair does not change for a long time. At this stage, the difficulty of vitiligo increases, but there is still no problem with adopting a scientific and effective plan.

3. Late symptoms: vitiligo.

The number varies and may be confined to a part of the body or distributed in a certain nerve segment (or dermatome). In most cases, the number tends to increase and enlarge gradually, and adjacent white patches may merge with each other to form large, irregular patches that are generalized throughout the body and appear like a map. It is very difficult to guess the disease at this time, and the routine has not worked, and only by taking the cutting-edge course of treatment, the condition will be.
