Recently, many former patients “grouped” to ask me, saying that their vitiligo has not been developing for a long time, and whether it is possible to stop the treatment without treatment. I don’t know where they heard this statement. Vitiligo treatment cannot be stopped without authorization. If it does not develop, it means that it has entered a stable period under control. At this time, it is time to pay close attention to treatment.

What is the stable period of vitiligo

1, Vitiligo patients whose affected area does not expand or develop new vitiligo within six months is the stable vitiligo stage. On the contrary, if the vitiligo expands or develops new vitiligo within six months, it is the progressive stage. Of course, half a year is used as a different time standard. Relatively.

In the same individual patient, there are both clear and blurred leukoplakia, indicating that some leukoplakia are in the Stable state, part of the vitiligo is in an expanding state, but the so-called stable phase refers to the patient as a whole, as long as there is only one vitiligo expansion or only one new vitiligo, it also means that the vitiligo is not stable, because the vitiligo in the stable phase is clear and there is no new development. Vitiligo.

2. The stable and progressive stages of vitiligo are not absolute, they often appear alternately, an initial white spot, often round , oval or round-like, the state of vitiligo becomes clear after the stable period, but due to the stimulation of certain environmental factors, the disease re-active and transferred to the advanced stage, at this time, the vitiligo is not proportional to the radioactive expansion, but in the vitiligo. The boundary between the blurred state and the normal skin on one side disappears, and it expands and migrates to the normal skin, making the vitiligo irregular, so that the vitiligo is stable and progressing alternately, and the vitiligo has a map-like appearance.

3. The judgment of the stable period of vitiligo is also divided into two judgments: medical history and physical signs. In the medical history, it is believed that the vitiligo does not expand on the patient’s body within half a year. No other neonatal vitiligo was found to be stable. In terms of physical signs, the vitiligo state is clear and clear, and the surrounding pigment deepening phenomenon is a stable period. Generally, the leukoplakia on the same individual patient will appear at the same time in the stable phase and the advanced phase. But the stable period we are talking about here refers to the leukoplakia of the patient’s body.

The stable period is relatively systemic, and there is a white spot that is still spreading, which is not considered to be in the stable period.

In the stable period, start treatment as soon as possible.

Entering the stable stage, no development, it does not mean that it will not develop in the future, the treatment is the best at this time, if it is not treated, it will have to wait for the recurrence Wait until the next stabilization period.

Stable period does not mean no development, remember these triggers?

1. Spiritual factors

Modern fast life The rhythm puts a heavy psychological burden on our “workers”. Long-term psychological pressure and excessive mental stress can lead to endocrine disorders in the body, and immune dysfunction induces the formation of “white spots”. If this continues during the stable period, the likelihood of relapse increases.

2. Physical factors

(1) Sunlight: Ultraviolet rays can activate melanocytes, but excessive exposure to the sun will make melanocytes hyperfunction, thereby promoting their depletion and premature aging.

(2) Trauma: Common clinical burns, scalds, frostbite, knife stab wounds, mosquito bites and local infection form white spots on the skin. Because melanocytes are damaged, it induces immune dysfunction or imbalance, which leads to vitiligo. Trauma is the predisposing factor, and the disease occurs on the basis of the disharmony between the body’s qi and blood.

3. Chemical factors

Engaging in chemical work or dyeing hair can selectively destroy melanocytes and cause depigmentation. In addition, industrial pollution, agricultural pollution and house decoration pollution are also very harmful to human body. The stable period should be kept away from chemical factors as much as possible.

4. Work and rest factors

Clinical studies have shown that irregular work and rest affect the circadian clock disorder and lead to neuroendocrine disorders. It is recommended to rest before 10 o’clock in the evening, do not stay up late, which will affect the growth of melanin.

Vitiligo enters a stable period, and intensive treatment is necessary. In addition, the treatment of vitiligo is to use it for people and prescribe medicine to the disease. Everyone’s situation is different. Don’t be affected by other people’s diseases.to your own mood. Going out for more travel and treating with partners is not against it, and don’t spread “negative energy” to each other.
