    Vitiligo can occur in twins and families, indicating that genetics plays an important role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo. Vitiligo has been suggested to have incomplete penetrance and multiple pathogenic loci in the gene.

    2.Autoimmune Theory.

    Vitiligo can be combined with autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid disease, diabetes, chronic adrenal insufficiency, pernicious anemia, rheumatoid arthritis, malignant melanoma, etc. Specific antibodies to various organs can also be detected in serum, such as anti-thyroid antibodies, anti-gastric parietal cell antibodies, anti-adrenal antibodies, anti-parathyroid antibodies, anti-smooth muscle antibodies, anti-melanocyte antibodies, etc.

    3.Psychiatry and Neurochemistry Doctrine.

    Psychiatric factors are closely related to the onset of vitiligo, and most patients have mental trauma, excessive tension, depression or depression at the onset or development stage of the lesion. Degeneration of nerve endings at the vitiligo also supports the theory of neurochemistry.

The toxic melanin precursors synthesized by the cells themselves and some chemicals that cause ** decolorization may also have a selective destructive effect on melanocytes.

    5.Lack of doctrine of trace elements.

    There is no significant difference in the gender of vitiligo, and it can occur in all age groups, but it is more common in adolescents. The lesions are depigmented patches, often milky white or light pink, with a smooth surface and no rash. The boundaries of the vitiligo are clear, the pigment at the margins is increased compared with normal**, and the hair in the vitiligo is normal or white.

    Lesions are more likely to occur in areas of sun exposure and friction injury, and the lesions are mostly symmetrically distributed. Leukoplakia is also often arranged in bands according to the distribution of nerve segments. Vitiligo is often accompanied by other autoimmune diseases, such as diabetes, thyroid disease, adrenal insufficiency, scleroderma, atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, etc.

    Prevention 1Reduce the intake of contaminated food, correct picky eating, and formulate scientific dietary recipes.

    2.Reduce the inhalation of harmful gases, and choose a place with fresh air during morning exercise or exercise.
