What is white wind? In fact, this is vitiligo, also known as "vitiligo" in traditional Chinese medicine. Vitiligo is quite common in daily life and is easy to identify. There are irregular white spots on the body, face, and limbs. The impact is not significant in mild cases, but it can affect all aspects of life in severe cases. First of all, it affects the appearance of personal image. Secondly, the pain of the disease and the strange looks of others also have a bad effect on the patient both physically and psychologically. Therefore, early neglect and non-treatment will have serious consequences. So, in addition to the treatments prescribed by doctors, what can we do in daily life to control the development of vitiligo? Let’s talk about this issue below. 1. Mental factors: Anxiety and tension can trigger this disease, so the patient should have a cheerful temperament and a non-competitive mind. 2. Environment: Especially damp living conditions, rain, wading, cold wind, etc. may induce vitiligo. 3. Infection: Trauma, frostbite and burns may lead to the occurrence or development of vitiligo, so you must pay attention. 4. Diet: Do not eat hot peppers and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, grapes, hawthorns, kiwis, etc. Eat more foods containing tyrosine and minerals, such as meat, animal liver, eggs, milk, vegetables, beans, peanuts, black sesame, walnuts, etc. 5. Do not expose to the sun to prevent spreading. 6 2. Use topical medications with caution to avoid skin irritation, especially when using topical medications on the face. 7. During the treatment period, avoid mechanical stimulation to prevent skin damage and cause isomorphic reaction. 8 , avoid trauma, friction, and pressure. Do not rub hard when taking a bath. 9. Clothes should be loose and fit well, especially underwear, panties, and bras should not be too tight, and belts should be loose. Clinically, white spots under the breasts, on the waist, in the groin, etc. are often caused by local compression. Underwear and underwear should be made of pure cotton as much as possible, and chemical fibers should not be worn. 10. Skin diseases such as eczema, dermatitis, insect bites, etc. should be treated early. 11. Patients in the progressive stage should not use strong irritating external medications or be exposed to ultraviolet rays. 1 2. Avoid contact with phenol and phenolic compounds, such as hydroquinone monophenyl ether (a type of substituted phenol), which is used as an antioxidant for rubber. Frequent contact with rubber products such as rubber gloves, rubber shoelaces, etc. often causes local discoloration and the appearance of white spots, and white spot damage also occurs in distant parts. Anti-freckle cream with hydroquinone monophenyl ether as the main ingredient can also cause white spots on the face or hands. 13. Avoid prolonged and strong sunlight exposure. Many patients often experience relapses of vitiligo due to traveling or business trips in the hot summer. |
