White spots on the body

Round or oval-shaped white spots on the body indicate that the person is suffering from vitiligo. Previously, this disease was not very common, but recently it occurs more and more often. Suffer from her and women, and men at any age, but most often vitiligo young people under the age of 20 are exposed.

Of course, when there are white spots on the palms of your hands, this can not but grieve, especially when it comes to young people. In addition to discomfort due to external appearance, vitiligo poisons life mentally, developing in patients with various inferiority complexes.

Vitiligo is a skin area, devoid of protective skin pigment - melanin. The skin in the place where the spot is located, can no longer tan. Hence, it will always not only differ in tone from the color of the rest of the body, but will not be able to protect itself from the sun's rays. Patients with vitiligo are not recommended to appear in the sun without special funds from sunburn with light filters.

The cause of this disease remains a mystery to this day, although there are several versions explaining its occurrence. According to one version, white spots on the body appear as a result of disturbances in the pituitary gland. Other doctors disagree, and talk about the autoimmune nature of the disease. A third argue that the cause is the disease of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands or gonads.

And the point is that white spots on the body remain white, and it is still not clear what exactly contributes to their appearance, and how to treat this disease correctly.

In this regard, you can advise those who have spots of vitiligo - do not panic, and, of course, do not tear hair on your head. Just in case, you should go to the doctor. Give blood to the analysis, let them check the number of red blood cells, and the work of hormones in the body. If something is found out - start to be treated, and if not - then calm down.

However, some people do not like the white spots on their hands, and they try to get rid of them in all ways. For this, PUVA therapy, treatment with ointments based on corticosteroids and herbs, as well as irradiation with ultraviolet rays with the preliminary acceptance of photosensitizing drugs is used. Not bad helps visit the Dead Sea, many serious skin diseases are cured here. Here, as in Mecca, a lot of desperate people are suffering, suffering from neurodermatitis, psoriasis and other diseases. As a rule, in the waters of the Dead Sea, ninety percent of sick people are cured. From the spots of vitiligo, today only one drug "Melagenin" is known. This drug is made from human placenta, the effect of which is enhanced with calcium chloride. The human placenta is taken immediately after the next birth. Her rejuvenating curative effect has been known for a long time, and now it has become known that the placenta also contributes to getting rid of vitiligo.

Americans recommend ultraviolet radiation as a treatment, immediately stipulating that it will take very long to irradiate. How long - they do not specify. Russian doctors have suggested adding vitamins of group B to the ultraviolet. It seems to hint at the neurotic cause of vitiligo, as the vitamins of this group contribute to the normalization of the work of the entire nervous system. But when the cause of the disease is not clear, why not prescribe vitamin A?Everyone knows that specifically one of the forms of this vitamin - retinoic acid - is responsible for the health of the skin. And of the entire large group of vitamin B, only B-12 and B-6 are acting on our skin. What the devil does not joke, if properly to feed our skin with useful vitamins, maybe because of this, at least there will not be new white spots on the body. Of course, in the vitamin therapy, medical logic can also be traced: when there is nothing to treat, we prescribe vitamins.

And the last. To stains do not spoil the appearance, you can disguise them with means for tanning, you only need to choose among high-quality cosmetics. Such funds usually stay well on the skin and are not washed off immediately, but gradually, without causing any discomfort.
