What are the treatments for vitiligo in children?

Many patients with vitiligo in children are affected by genetic factors. Such diseases must be treated in a timely manner to avoid a greater psychological and physiological impact on children when they grow up. With the development of science and technology, the treatment of vitiligo has become possible. Early detection and treatment of children can avoid greater impact. Let’s take a look at the treatments for vitiligo in children.

Follow your doctor's orders

Take the medicine on time and in the prescribed amount. Do not change the dosage or time of taking the medicine on your own. During treatment, you may encounter unexpected situations, such as colds, trauma, allergies, etc. You should keep in touch with the treating physician for active and correct handling. Vitiligo should see improvement within 15 to 30 days after treatment. If the expected effect is not seen, you should contact the treating physician in time and adjust the treatment method under the doctor's guidance. Therefore, during the treatment period, the attending physician will see the patient once every half month to observe the changes in the condition in detail. If you are unable to attend a face-to-face consultation due to long distance, you should take photos every 1 to 2 months for the doctor to observe.

Daily mentality

Due to the heavy mental burden and psychological pressure, vitiligo patients are more likely to lose confidence and the courage to live when they encounter disappointments and setbacks in life than healthy people. Therefore, patients with vitiligo should pay attention to the cultivation of psychological quality, learn to adjust abnormal emotions, and resolve psychological conflicts and pressures, which is beneficial to their personal work, life and early recovery.

⑴ Vent the depression in your heart.

Telling your troubles to a friend, venting your anger, or crying bitterly can all release psychological pressure.

⑵Develop interests and hobbies.

Relieve boredom and divert attention through fitness, entertainment, study and work.

⑶ Don’t panic when encountering things, treat them cautiously.

When it comes to troubles and unhappiness, acknowledge the rationality of their occurrence, and then calmly think of ways to deal with them.

⑷ Face reality.

Many people's troubles are caused by having too high expectations for life. Once these expectations are not met, troubles will follow. Therefore, face reality correctly, don't be stubborn, and be flexible.

Dietary considerations for patients with vitiligo

Diet: Vitiligo patients' blood and white spots lack certain trace metal elements, which reduces the activity of tyrosinase in the body, affects the synthesis and metabolism of melanin, and thus causes lesions. Therefore, patients should eat more foods rich in metal elements such as copper, zinc, and iron to enhance the activity of tyrosinase and subsequently accelerate the synthesis of melanin.

Eat more foods containing tyrosine and minerals, such as meat (beef, rabbit, pork lean meat), animal liver, eggs (eggs, duck eggs, quail eggs), milk (milk, yogurt), vegetables (fresh vegetables, as well as radish, eggplant, winter bamboo shoots, fungus, kelp, etc.), beans (soybean, pea, mung bean, soy products), peanuts, black sesame, walnuts, raisins, snails, clams and other shellfish.

The above is the treatment method for vitiligo in children. Usual diet therapy is still very important. For this special skin disease, some irritating foods are prohibited from being eaten, so you must manage your children well. Their self-control is poor and they can only rely on their parents' discipline. Secondly, eating more fresh fruits and vegetables can improve children's resistance and prevent the spread of diseases.
