What is Vitiligo?
Vitiligo is a skin condition that results in patches in areas of skin losing their pigment. It occurs when cells that produce pigmented skin, known as melanocytes, a cell that produces and contains the pigment called melanin, are destroyed or no longer function. These white patches or spots can occur anywhere on the body, on your face, hands, arms, feet, and even inside your mouth.
Vitiligo can occur in anyone of any normal skin color, but it is more prominent in people with darker skin tone. It is not contagious or life-threatening, but it can cause considerable emotional stress and increased risk of anxiety. Most people with vitiligo face some struggle with self confidence, particularly if the spots are visible.
Types of vitiligo:
Colour loss may vary. For some it is just a few small spots, while for others it might be more in terms of size. It is worth noting that vitiligo is unique to each person and there is no way of telling how much skin will be affected. It will not be experienced in the same manner by any two vitiligo patients.
You may want to see a doctor if:
There are a couple reasons for why this may happen:
There is no way to predict who will develop vitiligo, but there are common things among those who do:
Vitiligo does not itself present serious medical problems such as skin cancer, although if it is not treated it can cause complications, especially emotional and psychological distress.
There are potential complications:.
Protecting your skin from the sun is among the greatest things you can do. A sunburn can occasionally worsen the condition. Sunscreen throughout the year, even on cloudy days, to keep your skin from harmful UV rays.
Is wearing protective clothing helpful?
By wrapping up with long sleeves, hats and sunglasses you are providing your skin extra protection. You might want clothes with UV light protection as well.
Yes, stress may not cause vitiligo directly, but it can aggravate flare-ups or the spread of white patches. That is why it is crucial to develop ways to unwind. There are things that might help, like slow breathing, yoga and even making time for yourself.
Tips to lower your stress
It is the little things that count. See if you can go for a short walk, listen to soothing music, or speak to a friend. Simple daily behaviors to relax your mind can benefit your body, and your skin.
Even small traumas like cuts from surgical treatments, burns or a lot of rubbing, can occasionally cause new vitiligo patches. This is called the Koebner phenomenon. If you are extra gentle with your skin, you are less likely to have new spots appearing.
Protect your skin from injuries
Be careful when shaving, and wear gloves if you will be dealing with something abrasive, like, cleaning supplies. And if you do get nicked or scraped, be gentle to that injury. The less you will irritate your skin, the more you will protect it.
Vitiligo occurs when the immune system targets the healthy tissues that produce skin pigment. Keeping your immune system strong and regulated will contribute to protecting your skin and physical appearance. Good food, exercise and plenty of sleep also keep your immune system healthy.
Foods to keep your immune system strong
Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables of every color is a good start. Food such as berries, spinach and nuts contain antioxidants which are good for you. Staying hydrated and reducing sugar also may help your immune system work well.
Getting an early peek at changes signalled by your skin can go a long way. A dermatologist can spot signs of the condition early and provide patient education as well as offer treatments options like topical steroid and light therapy to slow it. Early diagnosis and tests like skin biopsy can make a significant difference and offer you greater choices.
When is it a good idea to book a check-up?
If you detect any new white patches or unusual skin changes, it is wise to get checked. Even if you don’t see anything, over time, regular visits, especially for people with a family history of vitiligo, can help you stay ahead of any issues.
