Patient's question:
Description of the problem: On the hands and legs, it started as small sores and then turned into white spots.Doctor's answer:
There are many triggers that can cause vitiligo, such as high stress, weakened immunity, endocrine disorders, trauma, genetics, and infections. If treatment is administered without identifying the underlying cause, there may be some temporary relief initially. However, after a period of medication, you will find that the effects become increasingly less noticeable, and the white patches may continue to spread. The main approach is to develop a treatment plan based on the patient's symptoms and examination results. With symptomatic treatment, vitiligo can be cured.For patients in the progression phase, internal treatment is generally used first. The cause must be identified to select appropriate medications for control. Once the condition stabilizes, corresponding therapies can be applied.
