The early stage of vitiligo is one of the better treatment periods.

What is the initial care for vitiligo?
1. Family members of vitiligo patients should first learn about the physiological and psychological knowledge of vitiligo, and provide necessary care to vitiligo patients spiritually, so that they understand that vitiligo is a skin disease with harmful psychological factors. Physical changes do not represent all of a person, so there is no need to worry. At the same time, they should face their own disease correctly and face themselves positively with a good attitude.
2. In the early stages of vitiligo, patients should avoid engaging in intense physical exercise under the scorching sun to prevent excessive fatigue from leading to a decrease in resistance and triggering other skin diseases. Appropriate exercise is very helpful for enhancing the immune system of vitiligo patients and can be appropriately participated in.
3. Vitiligo patients should have a light and nutritious diet in their daily lives. They should try to eat less or avoid foods rich in vitamins, and pay attention to foods that are too sour or spicy. Regular and moderate diet is necessary to prevent hunger and overeating, in order to prevent damage to the spleen and stomach.
What are the hazards of vitiligo?

The harm of vitiligo is also reflected in that vitiligo can induce a variety of diseases, such as pernicious anemia, alopecia areata, psoriasis, malignant tumors, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, cataract and other diseases, as well as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, chronic active hepatitis and other diseases.
