Patient's question:
Where is the best hospital in Wenzhou for treating vitiligo? My child has been diagnosed with vitiligo, and I don't know if the treatment has any side effects for children. He doesn't feel any pain and doesn't scratch with his hands. It was just recently discovered, and when we took him to the hospital, the doctor said it was vitiligo and gave us some ointment to apply.Doctor's answer:
Currently, the fundamental cause of vitiligo is not entirely clear in clinical practice. Each hospital explores potential treatments based on the patient's acquired causes during the treatment process. The main causes of vitiligo are generally summarized as: genetic factors, autoimmune factors, neurohumoral factors, endocrine and metabolic factors, tyrosine and copper ion deficiency, and others. Vitiligo is a chronic condition, making it relatively challenging to treat, requiring long-term cooperation and treatment. Moreover, there are many treatment options for vitiligo, and a treatment plan must be formulated after providing the patient with detailed information about their condition to tailor the therapy accordingly. It is not a traditional one-size-fits-all approach. As long as the triggering factors of vitiligo are identified, and treatment is administered correctly and timely, choosing the optimal treatment period, and persisting with the treatment, vitiligo can be completely cured. However, it is essential to carefully select a professional and reputable vitiligo treatment center.Additionally, in terms of diet, it is important to: completely avoid seafood, spicy, and irritating foods; abstain from alcohol; avoid medications containing vitamin C; and reduce the intake of foods rich in vitamin C. Strengthen physical exercise, wear loose and comfortable clothing, take precautions against injuries, and avoid excessive sun exposure during summer. We hope patients can recover as soon as possible!
