Patient's question:
Problem Description: White spots inside the foreskin, but no pain or itching, what's going on?Doctor's answer:
It may be vitiligo. Generally, psoralen and its derivatives can be used to treat vitiligo. After taking methoxsalen for 1 to 2 hours, expose the affected area to long-wave ultraviolet light or apply a methoxsalen solution before exposing it to long-wave ultraviolet light, which can also treat vitiligo. However, it requires that the side effects of this medication for vitiligo patients can be relatively significant. Alternatively, the injection of depigmenting agent can be used for intramuscular treatment, such as psoralen preparations, which can also achieve effective treatment for vitiligo.Additionally, traditional Chinese medicines such as Mulberry bark, Polygonum multiflorum, Schizonepeta, Saposhnikoviae, Rehmannia glutinosa, Eclipta alba, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and Baitouzi can also be used to treat vitiligo. These traditional Chinese medicines have the functions of nourishing blood, moisturizing dryness, dispelling wind, and removing spots, and can achieve significant effects in treating vitiligo, especially for the blood-heat wind-dry type of vitiligo.
