Learn to diagnose vitiligo on your own and seek treatment as soon as possible

Are vitiligo patients still troubled? Often, many patients experience increased difficulty in treatment due to delayed treatment. Below, we will introduce how to conduct a self test for vitiligo (SEP) to help you further understand vitiligo. There are various factors that can trigger vitiligo, including external stimuli and injuries such as limb collisions, soft tissue punctures, falls, fractures, smashing, burns, abrasions, and surgical knife wounds. In clinical practice, it is common to see many patients suffering from skin whitening at the site of injury or in distant areas, and even widespread whitening of the entire body's skin, or the expansion and increase of original white spots, leading to rapid progression of the disease. The self-test of vitiligo generally shows a clear boundary between the white patches and normal skin, but if it is in the progressive stage, the edges of the white patches can also appear blurry, and some may have a diffuse halo of color between normal skin and white patches around the white patches. The hair inside the white spot can be white, normal, or black and white. The treatment effect is relatively poor when the hair turns white. After the white spot disappears, the hair can also turn black. Generally speaking, the surface of vitiligo is smooth, without scales or scabs, and the sensation and secretion function are normal. But there are also a few patients who feel itching in the white patches, some of whom have severe itching, which can be seen when the white patches are developing and taking effect; There are also a few vitiligo patients who have a strange odor in the sweat secreted from the white spot area. The self-test of vitiligo shows irregular white patches of varying sizes, single or multiple, on various parts of the skin, oral cavity, and external genital mucosa in the human body. The area of the white patches gradually expands and the number increases. Although vitiligo appears as white patches, the degree of depigmentation can vary and can manifest as light white, milky white, cloudy white, and porcelain white. In rare cases, white patches may shrink or disappear on their own.Through the above introduction, do you have any understanding of self testing for vitiligo? I hope it can bring help to everyone.
