What is the difference between sweat spots and white spots? What is the difference between vitiligo

The difference between sweat spots and vitiligo is still relatively large, sweat spots, also known as tinea versicolor, is a depigmentation disease caused by epidermal fungal infection, which can be diagnosed by fungal examination to find fungal hyphae. Vitiligo is a hypopigmentation or depigmentation disease caused by a variety of factors, mainly manifested as whitening, the surface is smooth without scales, and some patients are prone to whitening of hair, which is related to many reasons, such as genetics, immunity, infection, mental and other factors.

The difference between sweat spots and white spots is one.

Sweat spots are caused by a fungal infection and are commonly known as tinea versicolor. It can be recovered by **, and vitiligo is a loss of melanocytes. It can also be good to pass, but it is much more difficult than sweat spots.

The difference between sweat spots and white spots is two.

Sweat spots are generally not cured, but the chance of vitiligo is very high. The onset of vitiligo is related to immune dysfunction, sun exposure, etc., and people with a family history are more likely to get vitiligo. Sweat spots have nothing to do with genetics.

The difference between sweat spots and white spots is three.

Sweat spots generally do not cause graying of hair, but when vitiligo progresses, it can cause graying of hair, eyebrows, and hair.

Through the introduction of the above article, you must have some understanding of the difference between sweat spots and white spots. What I want to tell you here is that sweat spots and early white spots are very similar in symptoms, and it is easy to misdiagnose them when the human eye observes, so when there are symptoms similar to sweat spots or white spots on the body, you must go to a regular professional vitiligo hospital in time to check and diagnose it.

In fact, vitiligo and sweat spots can be seen with the naked eye in morphology, vitiligo, is a general term for some diseases with ** vitiligo as the main symptom in medicine. Vitiligo refers to the appearance of lighter than normal skin patches on the mucous membranes, mainly due to hypopigmentation or depigmentation. Vitiligo can be congenital or acquired.

Sweat spots, also known as tinea versicolor, are a superficial fungal disease. **The lesions are predominantly pale white, with round or oval spots with indistinct edges and many fine scales on the surface.

1. Generally these two diseases, it is still not much of a shock to our body in terms of comfort, but he is asking me what I want to have a certain change, we must also consider going to the hospital for **, and it can also achieve good results.

2. Sweat spots are mostly found in the developed parts of the sebaceous glands, such as the neck, upper chest, back and upper limbs. The ** depigmentation of vitiligo patients is white patches, and there can be pigmentation at the edges, so we are called to ** department to use some conventional ** programs are effective.

3. The disease of vitiligo may develop into psoriasis or psoriasis, which is also possible, so when vitiligo appears, we must not ignore it, and actively go to the **, so as to effectively curb this disease and no longer develop.

White spots and sweat spots, they have a certain difference in morphology, but in terms of the most advanced pathway, it is generally carried out by the same means, and we have to look at the disease correctly.

1. The concept is different.

Sweat spots are caused by Malassezia infection, which generally occurs in young men, because sweating is more and is not dried in time, so as to provide a good living environment for bacterial growth. Leukoplakia is divided into congenital and acquired, and the innate properties are caused by various factors during the development of the embryo, and the leukoplakia will not fade or expand significantly after stabilization. Acquired nature is caused by external factors, such as environment, mood and diet.

2. The location of the disease is different.

Sweat spots mainly occur in areas where seborrhea is common, such as the neck, abdomen, chest, upper arms and back, and may also affect the face. White patches usually occur in areas that are exposed to sunlight and are prone to friction and damage, and appear when they are injured or come into contact with chemicals.

3. The clinical symptoms are different.

Sweat spots will appear as round punctate macules at first, then slowly increase to the size of a fingernail, with clear borders, and the adjacent areas will slowly merge into irregular shapes, and new macules will appear around them. A small number of gray or brown scales will appear on the surface,** without any inflammation, and occasionally a slight itching sensation will occur. Leukoplakia is a depigmented patch, generally light white or milky white, with a smooth surface without a rash, and the boundary is clear, and the vitiligo generally presents a symmetrical distribution without conscious symptoms and no itching.

4. The way is different.

Patients with sweat spots can choose creams or topical lotions**, or they can choose antifungal drugs under the guidance of doctors, and oral drugs can be selected for people with reverse or large areas**. Patients with vitiligo need vitamins, ketone-containing medications, hormonal drugs, and immunomodulators. Patients with stable vitiligo who have not progressed can be treated with autologous epidermal grafting.

People with large lesions should opt for depigmentation**.

White spots on the body are not necessarily sweat spots, there are many types of vitiligo, and it is important to be cautious about the possibility of vitiligo. Sweat spots are easy to aggravate due to the hot weather in summer, and although vitiligo can occur all year round, the incidence of vitiligo in late spring and summer is relatively high, so it is best to go to a professional hospital for vitiligo for accurate diagnosis.

Tinea versicolor (sweat spots) is a superficial mycosis with a pale white lesion, round or oval spots, blurred edges, often many fine scales on the surface, refractive nature, and the fungus can be found directly through microscopic examination, and the onset of the disease is mostly seen in the developed parts of the sebaceous glands, such as the neck, upper chest, back and upper limbs. It should be reminded that in young children, it can be seen on the cheeks, forehead and between the eyebrows, and because it is often scrubbed, the surface is not easy to adhere to scales, so it is easy to be confused with early vitiligo.

Warm reminder:] Vitiligo is called "leprosy" or "white barge" in traditional Chinese medicine, which is a kind of depigmented disease, **depigmentation is a patch of white, and begins to appear without conscious symptoms of local **whitening, gradually expanding, white spots are pale white or milky white, the shape and size are not different, the boundary is clear, the edges can be pigmented, the surface is smooth and scaly (no difference from normal**), excessive sweating is not aggravated, of course, the fungus can not be found under the microscope. Some of the above things help distinguish sweat spots from vitiligo.

The main differences between sweat spots and vitiligo are: ** different, different clinical manifestations, ** methods are also different.

1.The causes are different: the cause of sweat spots is mainly affected by environmental factors, if the patient is sweating, damp, the appearance of vitiligo may be caused by genetics, nervous tension, impaired immunity and other factors.

2.Different clinical manifestations: sweat spots mostly occur in the armpits, neck, trunk and other parts of the patient, showing a symmetrical distribution.

The affected area** will have a rash of different colors, such as: purple, white or hygroscopic brown; Vitiligo can occur anywhere on the body,** due to hypopigmentation.

3.Different methods: There are local cleaning methods for sweat spots, as well as ointments, etc., but patients with vitiligo can choose drugs, physics, surgery and other methods.

If the patient is not sure that sweat spots or white spots have appeared, it is best to go to the hospital for examination in time to be clear**.

Sweat spots and vitiligo are common clinical manifestations of tinea versicolor and vitiligo. Vitiligo and tinea versicolor are both common diseases, and they are often confused at the onset of the disease because the symptoms of the disease may be similar. However, there are certain differences in terms of **, clinical manifestations, ** methods and clinical test results

1. **: The appearance of sweat spots in patients is usually related to the environment, such as frequent sun exposure in summer, which may lead to local sweating and dampness in patients, and may cause sweat spots if not treated in time. The symptoms of vitiligo in patients are often related to family genetics, impaired immune system, nervous tension and other factors;

2. Clinical manifestations: sweat spots are commonly located on the patient's trunk, upper arm, neck, armpit and other parts, usually symmetrical distribution, manifested as purple, tan, pink, white or brown rash, the diameter is often about 4-5mm, and scaly scales can be produced after scratching, and occasionally itching. Vitiligo can occur anywhere on the body,** and the damage is mainly manifested by the appearance of different colors and sizes on the body.

1. Depigmented leukoplakia with indefinite morphology, usually no other color of macules, and usually not accompanied by itching and other symptoms;

3. Method: At present, sweat spots are mainly treated with drugs, which can be applied locally with dilute hydrochloric acid, glacial acetic acid, salicylic acid and other drugs, or terbinafine, ketoconazole, bifonazole and other types of drugs for antibacterial** to control the appearance of sweat spots. Patients with vitiligo can be treated with a combination of drugs**, physical**, and surgical**.

When the symptoms cannot be relieved by drugs**, ultraviolet irradiation, lasers or surgical skin grafts can be used**;

4. Clinical examination results: microscopic examination of dandruff of sweat spots can find short rod-shaped hyphae or round or oval spores distributed in clusters. Leukoplakia is not caused by a fungal infection, usually no scales are shed, and the fungal test is negative.

If there is a rash on the patient's **, due to the large individual differences, he should go to the ** department of the hospital for treatment, and make a comprehensive judgment through the examination results, and actively carry out **.

We all know that vitiligo can cause the appearance of white patches, but not all white spots are vitiligo, so we should be cautious about distinguishing this. Among them, sweat spots and vitiligo are both the most advanced diseases, and they are relatively high, especially in the early stage of the disease, which are caused by the appearance of vitiligo, which is often easily confused and causes misdiagnosis and mistreatment. So what is the difference between sweat spots and white spots?

Onset**. Sweat spots are usually caused by fungi and are refractive in nature, which can be found under the microscope. Vitiligo refers to white patches that are mainly caused by hypopigmentation or depigmentation, and there will be no fungus.

Shape of the disease. The white patches caused by sweat spots are mostly pale white, mostly round or oval in shape, and the edges are blurred. The white patches caused by vitiligo are mostly the size of nails to coins, round and oval, and with the development of the disease, they can expand or merge with each other to form irregular large patches, and in severe cases, they can recur all over the body.

The contagiousness of the disease.

Sweat spots are eczema-like lesions caused by poor autoimmunity, which has a certain relationship with the patient's ** sweat glands, and also has a certain relationship with the season, although it will not infect people, but it will infect itself, and vitiligo is a pigment synthesis disorder, there is no source of infection, and it will not be infected but has a certain hereditary nature.

Site of onset. Sweat spots often occur in areas that sweat a lot, such as the upper chest or back. The white patches caused by vitiligo can occur in any part of the body, but it is more common to expose ** or parts that are easy to be squeezed and rubbed, such as the head, face, neck, buttocks, back of hands and other parts.

Tips: There are many diseases that cause vitiligo, such as the common pityriasis alba, apigmented nevi, anemia nevus, albinism, etc. Because it is easier to confuse, patients should not blindly self-medicate**, so as not to lead to aggravation of the condition, so patients need to choose a professional hospital to diagnose**, according to the specific incidence of the disease, take a scientific and systematic method, which is conducive to the recovery of the condition.

Vitiligo is a general term for some diseases with vitiligo as the main symptom, causing more, such as vitiligo, pityriasis alba, anemia nevus, etc. The single sweat spot is a fungal infection, and the two can also be distinguished from the location of the disease, symptoms, and the first place.

1. **Different: There are many vitiligo, which can be acquired congenitally and acquired, with both internal and external environmental reasons. internal causes such as vitiligo, pityriasis albicans, anemia nevi, etc.; Environmental factors such as sun exposure and chemicals can also be caused by fungal infection.

Sweat spot is a manifestation caused by fungal infections, such as Malassezia furfur;

2. Different locations of the disease: the onset of vitiligo can be widespread throughout the body or localized, with the face, hands and feet being more common. The incidence of sweat spots is relatively limited, generally in the parts where the sebaceous glands are developed and sweating is easy to occur, such as the arms, neck, chest, and back;

3. The symptoms are different: the color of the white spots is white, the shape is round or oval, the edge and the surrounding boundary are not clear, the surface is relatively smooth, there are no scales, and the hair in the white spot area is also white, usually without conscious symptoms. The color of sweat spots is not only white, sometimes accompanied by other colors, in addition to the shape of round or oval, it can also show irregular shape, the surface of the lesion is not smooth, like a spot, there will be fine scales, the hair is not white, a little itchy;

4. Different: In the early stage of vitiligo, if the disease is clear early, the disease is mild, the area of vitiligo is not large, and there are still melanocytes remaining in the vitiligo, it is easy to control the disease or control the disease at this stage. However, if the lesions are more obvious, due to the large number of lesions, the specific ** needs to be analyzed according to the specific condition, and then the ** plan is determined.

If the skin lesion area is large, the condition is severe, or the effect is not obvious through external drugs alone, it can be combined with oral antifungal drugs**, and the effect is better.
