Children are the hope of the motherland and the future of their parents. The number of children suffering from vitiligo is gradually increasing. Today's polluted environment is becoming more and more serious, which is the main cause of vitiligo in children. As for treatment, many parents lack certain experience when taking care of their children. Let us learn about how to treat vitiligo in children.

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. Special attention must be paid in daily life to avoid affecting the child’s condition due to some daily living habits. Whether vitiligo is contagious, it is better to take preventive measures in advance. Eating more fruits and vegetables can effectively improve children's immunity.
