Why is the misdiagnosis rate of pediatric vitiligo high and how to diagnose it?

Hello, glad to answer for you :

Vitiligo occurs when it occurs in a certain part of the body (in a few cases, it can also occur in deep tissues, such as the pigment film of the eye), which is a single episode (only one piece around the body) or sporadic (multiple patches appear in different parts of the body at the same time). Most patients have no sensation and no cause (unknowingly) and find ** vitiligo incidentally. There are also some patients with clear predisposing factors, such as drug and cosmetics allergies, prolonged exposure to strong sunlight during travel and sea bathing, trauma and post-infection, mental trauma, etc.

Most lesions (i.e., leukoplakia) develop slowly after onset, initially increasing in size at the primary site, with new lesions appearing in other areas over the course of about 2 to 5 months. In a small number of patients, the lesions are localized and non-spreading, i.e., stable. There are also a small number of patients who spread rapidly, and the skin lesions spread to the whole body in a short period of time, and the rapid spread type is mostly related to mental factors, and there are also some patients who cause the disease to develop due to improper methods.

Good luck soon**!

According to experts in Kyushu, generally speaking, vitiligo in children mostly occurs in the human face, neck, limbs, waist, abdomen and back and other areas rich in sweat glands. Therefore, it is necessary to popularize more knowledge of vitiligo in children, so that parents and patients can stop believing in quacks, be able to self-diagnose vitiligo in the first time, and go to a regular vitiligo hospital in time to receive it.

First of all, it is necessary to understand the symptoms of vitiligo, and find a regular and authoritative expert to diagnose it, so as to avoid misdiagnosis of vitiligo to the greatest extent. The effect of his pediatric vitiligo is very good.

Vitiligo is a common disease, mainly caused by too little melanin in the body. Vitiligo in children can be related to several reasons:

First, genetic factors. Children with a family history of vitiligo have a greater chance of suffering from this disease;

Second, trauma may induce vitiligo. If the child does not treat the wound in time after the injury, the affected area may become infected with bacteria, which is also the cause of vitiligo.

Third, autoimmune trapped potato factors. If the child has low immunity or has an immune disease, it is possible to destroy melanocytes and become ill;

Fourth, picky eating and picky eating are also common reasons. Children's poor eating habits, insufficient nutrients and trace elements in the body are likely to affect the synthesis of melanin and induce vitiligo.

There are many cases of vitiligo in children;

Psychological stress. Children live in oppressive living conditions for a long time.

Children have low immunity. Children have poor immunity due to some reasons.

Deficiency of trace elements is caused by picky eating in most children.

The pollution of the food and living environment has a huge impact.

Chromosomal abnormalities, after the early symptoms of vitiligo, should be combined with drugs in time**.

I used to be a patient too.

Later, I was fortunate to see the diary of "Jiang Yulan's Sad History".

I watched the protagonist's painful hemorrhoids experience, which is exactly the same as my experience.

Later, I followed Sister Lan's method for a period of time, and I didn't expect that the color began to change in less than a week, and gradually returned to normal, and after three months, vitiligo never happened again.

You can take a look at Baidu, which will definitely help you get rid of the trouble as soon as possible.

Children's physical and mental development is still immature, so when children have vitiligo, it must be carried out according to the characteristics of children. In order not to affect the child's future life, it is important to pay attention to safety and effectiveness. In the scientific case of vitiligo in children, it is necessary to pay attention to reasonable, personalized, combined with the characteristics of children, and safe and effective is the principle of vitiligo in children.

It is best to go to a professional hospital, do not choose some unreliable drugs or **, otherwise it will lead to more serious lesions, and you also need to pay attention to timely care during the period to promote the progress.

Hello, vitiligo is a variety of similar diseases such as vitiligo, pityriasis alba, sweat spots, and many more.

If you suffer from vitiligo, it is recommended to go to the hospital and use a Wood lamp examination to confirm whether you are suffering from vitiligo. The above is a suggestion on how to diagnose vitiligo in children, I hope it will help you, I wish you good health!

After a period of onset of early symptoms of vitiligo, new symptoms will gradually appear. Patients with vitiligo have a slightly raised inflammatory dark red on the edge of some new white patches, which is easy to ignore and can easily affect the diagnosis of vitiligo. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the white spots are prone to burning redness, which has a great impact on the patient's body and mind.

If the diagnosis is confirmed, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for professional testing and diagnosis.

Most of them do not have itching, but they can burn when exposed to sunlight for a long time. The number of white spots is relatively small, generally one or two, mostly appearing in the **exposed area, the color is mostly pale white or milky white, and the boundary is blurred. The white patches of vitiligo have a smooth, scaly-free surface, no itching, no scaling or atrophy, and may show signs of spreading.

Here, experts from Beijing S&N Vitiligo Hospital will tell us how to identify vitiligo in children.

1.Difference between unpigmented nevus and vitiligo.

An unpigmented nevus is a congenital formation of melanin in an area that is not immediately apparent after birth, which is why it can be confused with vitiligo. The growth of vitiligo is relatively random, and the area will vary with the four seasons, and it can be reduced after regularization.

2.Identification of vitiligo.

Vitiligo is distinct from the normal ** tissue, and the color of its periphery ** is significantly aggravated, and the boundary of the vitiligo will be clearer when pressed down vertically with a clean slide. Anemia nevus is just the opposite of vitiligo, anemia nevus is only localized hypopigmentation, not depigmentation, therefore, there is no obvious boundary between the lower pressure site and the normal **, the anemia nevus area has an obvious "dendritic texture", the anemia nevus has no tendency to expand, rub the skin lesion hard, the local area is not red, and the surrounding normal ** redness. When the slide is pressed down, the anemia will disappear.

3.Attention vitiligo patients.

Because the occurrence of vitiligo is affected by genetic, immune, mental and other factors, it causes local ** and melanin synthesis disorders in hair follicles. Therefore, once vitiligo is diagnosed, frequent sun exposure should be done to darken the complexion, which is beneficial to vitiligo**. However, patients with vitiligo should try to avoid sun exposure, otherwise it will aggravate the condition.

1. The color of vitiligo: the color of vitiligo will change with the prolongation of the course of the disease and the aggravation of the disease, the early white spots are usually light white, but with the passage of time, the color of vitiligo gradually changes from light white to milky white, cloud white and porcelain white.

2. The number of white spots: There are only one or two white spots in the early stage, but they will slowly increase in the later stage. Moreover, there are certain differences in the number of vitiligo vitiligo with different types.

Usually, localized vitiligo is small in number and mostly confined to one part of the body; In segmental vitiligo, the white patches are distributed in a certain nerve segment; A very small number of patients have a rapid onset of vitiligo in the early stage, and quickly evolve into generalized vitiligo, and the white patches spread to the whole body.

3. The shape of vitiligo: the shape of vitiligo leukoplakia in the early stage is mainly round, oval and irregular, but with the lengthening of the course of the disease, the change is not very large, and only when the disease is very serious, will it become a large area of map-shaped leukoplakia. The area of the white patches will gradually increase from the initial dot, fingernail or coin size, and the adjacent white spots can merge into one.

There are many diseases of vitiligo, and vitiligo is just one of them. The general symptoms of vitiligo are: **color loss, smooth surface of vitiligo without flakes, clear borders, increased pigment at the edges, normal hair in the affected area, white, generally no self-conscious discomfort, and a few local itching.

It is recommended that parents take their children to a regular vitiligo hospital for examination,**.

Whether the surface of the vitiligo is smooth and no flakes, the vitiligo is pale white or milky white, if the boundary is blurred or spread towards the normal **, it may be vitiligo, vitiligo often manifests mainly with the following symptoms: 1. There is no itching, even if there is a very slight feeling. 2. The number of depigmented spots is small, generally only 1-2 pieces, and most of them appear on the exposed parts.

3. Except for depigmentation, the ** at the depigmented spot is the same as the surrounding **, there is no itching, desquamation or atrophy and other changes. 4. Early vitiligo should be considered first when there are no other ** diseases.

It is recommended to go to a professional hospital for examination and diagnosis.

Jinan Xijing, hello, vitiligo is a pigmented ** disease caused by acquired melanin loss, which begins to unconsciously local**, mucous membranes and hair whitening, gradually expands, the realm is clear, the surface is smooth, and there is no scaling. In this case, you can first observe whether the white spot is smooth and does not flaking, generally showing no pain and itching, if the boundary is blurred or the white spot is expanding towards the normal**, this situation can be preliminarily judged to be a symptom of vitiligo, and the specific condition still needs to be diagnosed by professional instrument examination.

The symptoms of vitiligo are milky white or porcelain white in color, the white patches are painless (some newly discovered itching), and the white spots are smooth and flake-free. Knowing the general symptoms of vitiligo, you can judge one or two by yourself, but you still have to go to a regular hospital to check and diagnose it, vitiligo is easy to misdiagnose by visual observation, and it is best to use an instrument to check and judge. If vitiligo is found, it must be detected early**.

The onset of vitiligo is generally no conscious symptoms, the surface of vitiligo is smooth, no flakes, and no pain or itching, if the patient's vitiligo has the above symptoms, it is generally considered that the possibility of vitiligo is relatively large, the biggest feature of vitiligo is that it is easy to develop and spread, it is recommended that patients should be early **, so as not to delay the condition and miss the best **time, and any disease should be sooner rather than later, the more delayed, the more serious the condition, the difficulty and cost will also increase relatively.

Experts from Beijing Guodan Vitiligo Hospital will introduce to you: 1. In the early stage of vitiligo, the area of vitiligo is very small, the number is not much, most of them are the size of nails or coins, and the shape is mostly round, oval or irregular. 2. Because the part of vitiligo patients is very sensitive, after being exposed to sunlight, the part of the disease will be red, and some patients will have a slight burning sensation.

3. Vitiligo white patches can occur anywhere on the body. The common ones are the face, neck, and extremities, and the color of the white spots is relatively light, generally pale white, and with the development of the disease, the color of the white spots will gradually deepen and become cloud white or porcelain white. The ** in the white patches is not scaly and relatively smooth.

Jinan Xijing Vitiligo Medical Research Institute: '

Vitiligo is vitiligo, but vitiligo is not necessarily vitiligo, the degree of depigmentation of vitiligo in the early stage of vitiligo is light, and the boundary between the surrounding normal ** is blurred, if this situation occurs in **whiter people, it is often difficult to diagnose in time, carefully observe whether the surface of the vitiligo is smooth and no dandruff, the vitiligo is pale white or milky white, if the boundary is blurred or spread towards the normal **, it may be vitiligo.

Vitiligo lesions are mainly concentrated in the external manifestations of the human body, and there is no loss of other organs inside the human body. The lesions appear as pure white round or irregular desolated plaques with a smooth surface, well-defined borders, and hyperpigmented margins. The whiter** is more sensitive to sunlight than normal**, and it will become red when exposed to the sun.

It is very important to damage the patient's image and cause certain mental abnormalities, so it is very important to prevent vitiligo from causing greater damage to the patient's psychology and body.

The diagnosis of vitiligo is based on a physical examination, medical history, and in-depth examination.

Your doctor may suspect vitiligo if you report (or find) on the sun-exposed areas of the body, including the hands, feet, arms, face and lips, especially vitiligo. If vitiligo is suspected, your doctor will ask about your medical history. Factors that are important in the diagnosis include a family history of vitiligo, rash, sunburn, on-site vitiligo depigmentation that began 2 to 3 months ago, or other ** trauma; Stress or physical illness and premature (before the age of 35) graying of hair.

In addition, the doctor will ask you if you have had any autoimmune diseases in your family or anyone and if you are very sensitive to the sun.

To help confirm the diagnosis, doctors may need to examine the affected small** sample (biopsy) under a microscope. In vitiligo,** samples usually show a complete loss of melanocytes that produce excellent pigments. On the other hand, the presence in inflamed cell samples may indicate that another condition is responsible for the loss of pigment.

Because vitiligo can be associated with pernicious anemia (a condition in which insufficient amounts of vitamin B12 are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract) or hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland), doctors may also take a blood sample to check blood counts and thyroid function. For some people, your doctor may recommend optometry to check for uveitis, and sometimes vitiligo (inflammation of the eye) can occur. Blood tests to look for antinuclear antibodies, a type of antibody, may also be done.

This test helps determine that the patient has another autoimmune disease.
