How to generally treat vitiligo in children

Children have relatively low immunity and are particularly susceptible to certain diseases, so children are more likely to suffer from vitiligo. Parents should pay attention to vitiligo because the earlier the treatment, the better the effect of treatment. The following is a detailed introduction on how to treat vitiligo in children. For many parents, it is important to understand it as soon as possible and treat their children as soon as possible through understanding.

1. Since the causes of vitiligo are complex and multifaceted, the effect of any single treatment method or single drug is very limited. The treatment course of vitiligo is long and the cure rate is very low. Various pathogenic factors influence each other and are causally related to each other. The treatment of diffuse vitiligo must consider both neurochemical factors and immune disorders.

2. It is necessary to improve the efficacy and cure rate. In our country, thousands of years of practice of traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated rich experience and prescriptions for the treatment of vitiligo. If Chinese and Western medicine can be combined, there is no doubt that the effect will be better than using Western medicine alone. Therefore, we emphasize comprehensive treatment, that is, the combination of internal and external medicine, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, and the combination of drugs and physical therapy or other therapies.

3. The course of vitiligo can be divided into a dormant stage and a progressive stage. During treatment, you must not fail to identify the stage of the disease and apply external medicines indiscriminately. During the progressive stage of vitiligo, internal treatment should be the main focus, adjusting the body's immune function and neuroendocrine function. Patients with other systemic diseases, such as thyroid disease, diabetes, liver disease, etc., should be treated at the same time. During the ongoing period, strong sunlight or ultraviolet rays must not be chosen to avoid increasing the burden on melanocytes, increasing the toxic products of melanin metabolism, and aggravating the self-destruction of melanocytes.

4. Treatment of diffuse vitiligo: A large amount of practice has shown that vitiligo is relatively easy to treat in the initial stage. Vitiligo that has just appeared for 1 to 2 months can often disappear completely within half a month to two months of treatment. This is because in the initial stage of vitiligo, there are still some melanocytes that are not completely destroyed in the skin lesions. We call this incomplete vitiligo. If treated early at this time, it is expected that the melanocytes in the basal layer of the skin of the vitiligo will be repaired, divide and proliferate, secrete melanin, and transport it to all layers of the epidermis through the dendritic protrusions, thus achieving the best therapeutic effect.

For parents, if they want their children's vitiligo to recover as soon as possible through treatment, they must choose a regular hospital, choose a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination, get a confirmed diagnosis as soon as possible, treat it with the correct method, and then provide all kinds of care after the treatment. Only in this way can their children's vitiligo be completely cured.
