If there are white spots on your face, in most cases it means you have some skin disease. However, there are many types of skin diseases, such as vitiligo. What should we do? How to distinguish them? The symptoms of vitiligo and vitiligo are very different. Sometimes children have worms in their stomachs and their faces may have white spots. It is necessary to accurately distinguish the symptoms of these diseases in order to better treat them.

Vitiligo is a common and frequent pigmented skin disease characterized by local or generalized depigmentation and the formation of white spots. The number of white spots in the early stage is uncertain and may be limited to a certain part of the body or distributed at a certain neural stage. It is very rare for white spots to disappear on their own. In most cases, the white spots tend to gradually increase and expand. Adjacent white spots may merge into large irregular patches, spreading all over the body like a map. Sometimes normal skin remains among the white spots, which are mistaken for pigmentation. For example, if they occur on the face, they are mistaken for chloasma.

The symptoms of vitiligo are not only manifested on the human skin, but also on the ears, eyes and other parts of the body. As our living environment continues to change, the incidence rate in my country's heavy industrial cities, oil-producing areas, and coastal areas is significantly higher.
