Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on with my skin. It's dry, itchy, and has white spots and red dots. It's very uncomfortable. Could you please tell me what causes vitiligo?Doctor's answer:
Vitiligo is primarily caused by a lack of melanin and is also related to immune issues, trauma, and hereditary factors. A 7-year-old child with vitiligo should actively cooperate with the doctor in treatment and pay attention to dietary conditioning. It is beneficial to consume more black foods such as black rice, black beans, black sesame seeds, and black fungus, which can help replenish melanin and aid in the complete recovery of vitiligo. This is a critical period for growth, so it is important to ensure balanced nutrition with a mix of meat and vegetables for the child.
